Welcome to wikileeks, the blog with all the dirt on home gardening. Well, the veggies are in and we've been blessed with lots of rain (along with slugs and snails) in the foothills of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges on the eastern outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Gardening and growing veggies has become a real passion of mine in recent years. Now, you've probably heard all about the virtues of 'growing your own' being a 'locavore', saving the planet and all that jazz. All of this is really important, but it's not what motivtates me - growing things is a passion that runs in the blood in my family, along with an appreciation of preparing and eating the fruits of our labour. Nothing quite compares to going to the veggie patch and picking the things you want to turn into a delicious meal.
Like gardening wikileeks will be something of an experimental journey, a bit of trial and error, but I hope this will develop into a useful forum for practical gardening information, not only in 'the hills' but for everywhere, as well as a journal of the goings on in the garden.
I'm not a horticultural expert, just a passionate home gardener. Let's grow together!
Cheers.
