Greetings! Did you miss us?
It's been a while and we've been receiving the odd email along the lines of:
"Hey, um... are you guys alright? It's just, I've been following you for ages but you haven't updated the website in, like, a year."
You might be forgiven for imagining that we at Very Edible Gardens – haunted by the spectres of global politics and truffle-infused Happy Meals – had become weird recluses, with choko vines slowly closing in over the broken windows of our dilapidated mudbrick homes, where we and our house-chickens subsist on little more than day-old bread and port wine.
Well, allow us to dissuade you of these notions. We have in fact been quite achieve-y these last 12 months. Indeed, we've been pursuing whole new VEG side projects, books, and radio, designing and building a multitude of gardens (and small farms), running courses, engaging in new intellectual romances, and we have a prodigal son returning. Admittedly there really are choko vines over everything though. Read on to find out more, but first our April gardening tips...
To try on a better visual image of our last 12 months, consider the photo above — the truly beautiful and productive property Dan has been developing with his parents in NZ.
