Our backyard

@Marty Ware @Steve Thomas and myself would like all members to be involved in sharing what your Planting, Growing or Harvesting in your backyard. Please share photos or videos here in this new category or on this post. Marty is going to run a vlog along side this and Steve is going to help encourage and inspire all members to be involved. PS - If anyone is unsure of how to post photos or videos feel free to message me. I’m more than happy to help.

Sherly cooked this yesterday and I thought this just maybe an awesome Filipino recipe to share with you all next and upload into the Classroom. It’s a simple grilled pork with fresh cucumber and tomato with vinegar. I really enjoyed it. Is this a contender? I think it is hehe. Let me and Sherly know in the comments below and if you want this one as an up coming recipe?

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!

For me it’s Ampalaya this is the Philippines name for it! We call it Bitter melon. I will try and eat it again. I am growing it as my wife and her friends love it. I also want to challenge myself to see how many fruits I can grow on one vine. Our vine is pumping. Would you like to see an update video? Let me and others know in the comments which edible you are excited about and why. Happy Gardening Marty
