Here in South Australia, spring is well under way and we're starting to feel some hints of the heat of summer to come. As we shift to prepare our gardens for those hot days in the southern hemisphere, the north is preparing for winter. I hope we all find time to keep updating each other on how we're doing.

I hope you enjoy the selected articles for this week, if you haven't already discovered them.

Things happening in the community.

Some highlights of the week

When it comes to the mittleider gardening method, Hive account@smallblockfuelie seems well versed and demonstrates a way to grow sweet potatoes to make an easy harvest. Two videos are included to help get the method right.

Hive account@leoneil shares in detail how they prepare their moringa seeds for the best chances of sprouting.

At Hive account@warfsterveld farm they have a new arrival to the goat herd. There are a couple of informative posts in this story, the first introduces how Ayumi came to join them, then there is more detail on how they're working to tame this wayward girl.

For a couple of different recipes you can't go past Hive account@abitcoinskeptic's post on making mint liquor and preparing peanuts for some homemade dishes. All this from ingredients grown in the home garden.

Thank you for stopping by. This week's newsletter was brought to you by Hive account@minismallholding.
