With winter well and truly upon us, it’s the time of year when many of us think about planning new beds — or the whole garden — for the warmer growing season, which, let’s face it, is just around the corner. So we have a bit of a planning theme this issue with features on raised beds, creating a garden entrance and making the most of sloping sites.
Our recipes this issue will get you excited if you have a thermo cooking appliance — and if you don’t they just might inspire you to acquire one when you see the great things you can cook with maximum ease and minimum fuss.
Until spring,
Happy gardening!

This issue has great projects for autumn: a meditative labyrinth, worm towers and homemade beauty products from the garden and pantry!

In our autumn issue, Jennifer Stackhouse looks at how to make a garden accessible and easier to manage for people with a disability, while Claire Bickle offers some ideas on plants to grow for our pets — don’t they deserve a treat from the garden? Claire also profiles scented pelargoniums — so many to choose from! Other featured plants include kale, parsnip, asparagus, bay laurel, celtuce and licorice covered by Jennifer, and from Melissa King mulberry and feijoa as well as a range of dwarf fruit trees for the compact home orchard. Our power plant is grown more for its foliage though it does have edible fruit: Passiflora incantata. We’ve gone a little crafty in The Shed with how-to braid garlic and string onions, while Megg Miller looks at winter care for the chooks. Plus we have the usual lineup of real food gardens for inspiration.

In our autumn issue, Claire Bickle showcases edible hedging and screening plants as well as more warm-climate fruits, while Jennifer Stackhouse and Melissa King cover corn salad, Jerusalem artichoke, globe artichoke, red cabbage, broad beans and coriander. Melissa also looks at heritage figs, along with passionfruit and kiwifruit. Our Power Plant is wormwood, a great one for the chicken run, speaking of which, Megg Miller invites us into some chook-houses to see the good and the bad. As it’s crop changeover time, Jennifer explains crop rotation and plant families, while scientist Sandra Tuszynska shows us how to make mycelium mats for our gardens. Plus, as always, we have some great real-life gardens and their owners — with their shared gardening tips — as well as recipes for using your seasonal produce.

We're excited. With a new year comes a fresh new look for our magazine! In this summer issue, Melissa King showcases heritage cherries, potted olives and pigface, while Jennifer Stackhouse looks at clever crops salsify and mustard as a soil cleanser, plus amaranth, dwarf beans, eschalots and rainbow chard. Meanwhile, Claire Bickle has put together two showcases: luscious warm-climate fruits and leafy green alternatives to lettuce and rocket in this hottest time of the year. Megg Miller takes a close look at one of our favourite chicken breeds: Australorp. And our scientist Sandra Tuszynska has built a spiral herb garden for this summer edition. We also have features on preserving the harvest through dehydrating and some easy fungal fixes you can make from ingredients in your fridge, pantry and herb garden. We’ve brought back our basic moon calendar, too.

Time to plant all those lovely summer crops! Melissa King looks at the many faces of zucchini as well as honeydew melon and tamarillo, while Jennifer Stackhouse covers celery, scarlet runner bean and taro to plant in the vegie patch, along with parsley for the herb garden. She also sings the praises of carob and gourd, plus we take a thorough look at capsicums of all colours. What's cooking in our recipe section? Basil, strawberries, chillies, capsicum and baby spinach. Find out why rosemary might help you live longer and what to do when your chooks are broody. Plus, we have more friendly bugs, a step-by-step on how to build a natural-looking frog pond, plants the love heat and how to be water-wise over summer.

The mornings and evenings are cooler and the real cold is coming, so everything in the garden changes dramatically now. It's time to plant all those lovely brassicas and snowpeas, sugar snaps and carrots, says Melissa King, and it's a great time for leafy greens, too, as you don't have the problem of bolting when the mercury is lower. A good mulching will help keep your soil warm, so Jennifer Stackhouse does a roundup of the latest wisdom on mulching — it's not as cut-and-dried as you think — while Sandra Tuszynska tells how to make a poo brew that will perk up your plants. This issue we have a special feature on the health benefits of fermenting and pickling your produce, and if you're thinking of buying chickens, Megg Miller waxes lyrical on the appeal of the Australian Langshan breed. If you’re enjoying learning about biodynamics, read part II of Claire Bickle’s Biodynamics Basics and use the handy moon calendar for your seasonal planting. Happy reading and gardening!

Every wondered whether it would be a good idea to try growing truffles? Jennifer Stackhouse has some answers. She also covers clever crops mouse melon and dragon fruit, as well as good old Brussels sprouts, parsnips, mandarins and grapes, plus she outlines what needs doing now in gardens around the country. Meanwhile, Melissa King introduces some new cultivars, both ornamental and edible, and does a beautiful roundup of heirloom crab apples, plus kale and spinach to plant now. Claire Bickle offers the first part of a biodynamics basics series and there’s a simple moon planting calendar to go with it, plus she finishes her ongoing articles on fungal diseases. We garden to feed ourselves well, but our gardens also supply the good stuff to bees and other pollinators, so we look at some of the flowering plants that act like magnets to them. Not forgetting our chickens, either, who also need to be well nourished, Megg Miller addresses chook nutrition this issue. Plus, there are some great vegie gardens to inspire you and mouth-watering recipes from Joanna Rushton for using your produce.

Late spring/early summer means hot weather and lots to do in the garden, including continuing to plant all those wonderful summer crops. We've got heirloom chillies and carrots, melons, zucchini, capsicum, cucumber, tomatillo and winged bean. Hot weather also means more insects to feast on your fruit and veg - and perhaps your chickens and you, too! Jo Immig says we can learn to live them, but if things do get way out of balance, Claire Bickle and Angie Thomas have advice for dealing with pests in the garden and Megg Miller tells how to deal with pests in the nest. Plus, it's a critical time for looking after peach and other stonefruit trees, so Jennifer Stackhouse tells how to give them some summer loving. How-tos include a fantastic bee wall project to attract native bees to your garden; ways to get the kids involved in food growing; and nifty thrifty gifts you can make from your garden for next to nothing.
