So as you guys know I started some tomatoes a couple of months ago and they didn't work I they died ,we have started again, today I have the day off, so I've done my first 90 seedlings for my tomato chili challenge. It looks like a lot but one of these trays is going to my mother-in-law's house I didn't actually get to plant out all of the varieties yet because there's 10 plants of each within those trays so I still need to do some succession planting with the rest of the varieties and try those maybe next month. In here I have money maker, Roma, banana legs, sugar lump, blue Gold, I snuck some extra luffas in here.. And for the chilies I have planted siam, Thai and fire and ice. Varieties that I still have to plant in January/February...principe Borghese, yellow tommy toe, Amish paste, gold nugget, beefsteak, yellow stuffer and brown Berry

After chatting with @Steve Thomas yesterday about finding a way to make all members feel part of this amazing new community, we came up with some awesome ideas together. One of them was for members to do mini behind-the-camera vlogs, letting people know more about what they are growing now and in what part of Australia or the World. To make it more fun and interactive, I have created these two cards that can be turned into A2 posters. You will need to ask me for the file and take it to the print shop. They look awesome in my opinion and super original. @Leon Raucci Steve and myself have signed up to take part...let is know below if you want to join in too? We have a man and a woman vlogging in the 1960s with their camera, and as it's the concept of the community, it can't be found anywhere else. technically, they are photo vlogging, hehehe, because video wasn't available then. Anyone in the community who is getting behind the camera to take photos or video with updates is classed as a Garden Creator. I am really looking forward to seeing these mini garden vlogs from you all from behind the camera! These cards are awesome, yes? I honestly feel so blessed to have this community, and it's just getting started. Thank you to all the founding members, your contributions and making everyone feel welcome!

I have been a bit distracted with"life " in the last while. I have ordered supplies and then December will see me finish the chaos garden and I am hoping to start 90 new seedlings. Following along with your bread story, I made classic white and herb/garlic yesterday. During the week I hope I get time for some potato bread. I miss it 😂 It's hot at the moment where I am 40 today... Too hot for me.

Next year, there is also the recycle and repurpose monthly challenge. Where each month, members who want to join in on this repurpose challenge. From what I see, we have two members, @Alisha Hobart and @Kayleen West, and I am sure many more who would like to take part. @Lorna Abrahams I believe likes to recycle too, yes? I will be running the vlogging creators, so it will be up to you, the members, to get this rolling. I think it's an awesome idea, thanks, Alisha. Those who sign up for the monthly repurpose and recycle will receive this card as a way of saying thank you for your contribution. By creating mini events, challenges and vlogs, we can keep making this space a productive, educational, and fun community for all. Please let us all know if you would like to take part in this starting in 2026?
