Where did November go....?
The December newsletter* is out and as usual full of tips, trick and information about the gardens. I'm particularly keen to try out the Mango Ice cream recipe.
Particular thanks to to the good work of Peter Pendlebury, Candice Laidlaw (TRC) and Peter’s brother, Grant, of Kehoe Myers Engineering for the successful grant application from Ergon Energy and its Sustainable futures fund and the news is that TRC will provide services in kind.
We look forward to seeing you all at the End of year PARTY!

A Note From the Editor
Food for thought
I saw some cow manure for sale for $8 a bag. It probably is not expensive to some, but I was reminded that the TOGA was a demonstration of how to garden at the lowest costs. That is, to find ways to avoid having to buy expensive compost or mulch, to seed-save every year, to water wisely, to obtain the maximum yield from the space available, and that does not mean cramming as many plants into the space available! I hope we can follow though on these ideas for the rest of the year.
Plant of the Month
White sapote:
The white sapote (Casimiroa edulis) is a hardy, subtropical fruit tree that can withstand drought and both high and low temperatures.
There are many varieties but one, Vernon is growing in the Permaculture garden at TOG.
Grafted trees will usually produce fruit within two to three years if provided good growing conditions.
