The colours of early Spring are here!It’s a positive time in the garden in the Blue Mountains as we see the return of growth and flowering of many bright colours. Here we see the luminous new Purple Broccoli sprouts; Treviso Radicchio Chicory as it bursts back from the cold nights to create the new bright red and white stems; the intense Giant leaves of the Osaka purple Mustard next to some brightly coloured red and green stemmed silverbeet; and the wonderful Australian native Prostanthera rotundifolia or ‘Round leafed mint bush’ which creates a a refreshing tea or sparkling taste addition to your wood fired pizza breads or damper. There is nothing understated in the late winter/early spring colour palate.

It’s that time again!
This is just a quick reminder that the meeting for September 2026 of the Mid Blue Mountains SeedSavers is on at the Bullaburra Progress Hall this weekend.

Sunday 13 September 2026 from 10 am till Midday

Help celebrate the Blue Mountains Spring!

This meeting will be again focussed on the practical aspects of seed saving including harvesting, filtering/sieving and cleaning seeds along with packing and storage.

Bring your plant material and seeds from this current season and we will discuss how to process them.

Come along and talk about growing things with like minded people.
Hope to see you there celebrating the current productive growing season!
