About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

*vintage gardening ~ May 11

hopefully today I will get to do a little pottering in my garden. My turnips are doing well...they survived the onlsaught of slugs although the white cabbage moth has been having a party on the leaves. Broccoli and brussel sprouts are doing really well too ~ they look so healthy. I can't wait to be able to pick some. Leeks, spinach and beetroot are all growing too ! I must be doing something right ~


I make a comfrey tea mix for the plants ~
I use a drum with a lid and half fill it with harvested comfrey leaves. Then top with water and replace the lid. leave stewing for about 2 weeks, giving an occassional stir. I skim the water off the top and then use a 50/50 mix for established plants...make it a little weaker for seedlings. Comfrey is also a good bug deterrent and also a great foliage spray. Plus its organic !!!!

I love this:


I love to watch the miracle
when blossoms bud and grow
I am nearer to God's heart in the garden
than anywhere else I know
