Joe's Connected Garden

JOE IS OPEN FOR FIG PICK UPS TOMORROW!
Sorry the fig sale ended up being very drawn out due to circumstances beyond our control but the good news is that there is still a good selection available from the premier fig collection Australia. I (Rosanne) ended up making two trips to Lyell McEwin in the last couple of weeks: one for a bad fall on a steep ramp at a shopping centre and the second when my arm got infected with cat scratch/potting mix which was rapidly going septic! I am pleased to say I am out of danger of a nasty potential situation but garden matters had to take a back seat for a while. Joe's garden at 6 Argent St Elizabeth Grove will be open from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 6 June for collection of figs ordered or you can just come with cash. $25 each or 5 for $100 for mature trees which will be fruiting next summer/autumn. You can call Joe on 0402 298 409 if you have any questions. If you cannot come tomorrow, you can make another appointment. https://andrews-urban-farm.square.site

ANOTHER FIG PICK UP
Sorry this has been a bit drawn out! I've had two trips to hospital recently and can hardly walk so not at my most efficient. LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED FIGS HAVE NOT ORDERED YET AND WE WE STILL HAVE PLENTY! Just use the link and order by card. Pick up at Joe's this coming Saturday 6 June from 10am to 3pm at 6 Argent St Elizabeth Grove phone queries to Joe 0402 298 409. Thank you!

If you are seriously interested in following the permaculture life style this is the must have book which is easy to read with lots of photos and drawings. If it's a bit out of reach financially there are many copies in the public library system. By following the guidelines, you will save a fortune as well as enhancing your quality of life.

PS AT THE BEGINNING!
SATURDAY 5PM
THANKS TO ALL WHO ORDERED TODAY. However, because the post was put up late, a number of people have not confirmed their orders so we are leaving the link open. Joe has said he can be open for people to pick up on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon from 1-3pm. Don't miss this opportunity and sorry for the confusion!
YOU CAN ORDER FIGS NOW!!
Hi to all our fellow fig fans! This week has been one of those we could have done without: hospital stays etc. and a funeral to go to this morning but we're finally back online. Unmarked mixed mature figs at $25 EACH OR 5 FOR $100. Here's the link to order to pay by card and reserve your figs.
These were offered a couple of weeks ago but Joe was busy and unable to allocate a pick up day. Because of severe illness, I have not been able to write to everyone individually so even though your order is noted, it needs to be paid for here to be considered firm and put out for collection. If you want these special figs, please post your order ASAP so we can have it ready for you. If you cannot make it tomorrow another appointment time can be arranged for either Elizabeth or Brompton if that makes it easier for those living near the city or south.

FIGS
Very sorry about dragging our feet on the fig orders but I've been very sick in hospital. Aware that pick up day is this coming Saturday and I have not yet put the link up but will try and do tomorrow so you can still pick up on Saturday or very soon after. Please be patient but multiple accidents, injuries and infections have knocked me way out of action. So sorry!

What gorgeous and amazing people these are. Doubly so, when willing to go out in this nasty weather and not getting glorious spring sunshine as a bonus. We love Fruit Share Adelaide who have managed to pull off an amazing task where others have failed. PLEASE assist any way you can - we all HATE waste! They are a not for profit charity so all these lovely workers do it for LOVE!

AND STILL IT COMES.....
SORRY, OFF THE AIR AGAIN
Was in hospital Mon/Tues. Home now. Severe infection where my cat scratched me playing a game, then Sunday I was potting strawberries and it wasn't covered and on my arm got very very badly infected. Not fun for sure...... Thanks for caring # # #
