Hi And Welcome to Garden-Fresh-Foods.
To day we are going to be shareing with you on what to do with all those weeds, that are picked from among all your Garden-Fresh-Food:
Ok at our place we have a rule, to follow each day; First we get up at Dawn, as the sun comes up, and we both spend time with our Heavenly Father in a Devotional time of reading from his Word He has written to us to learn from, and over breakfast we chat about what His Word says to us, Which is the Word of Truth, where can you read the Truth today, many years ago there was a newspaper called the Truth, it was full of Rubbish adultery, Sex, Horse Racing, Dateing, you name it and you could read about it Can any one remember the Paper???.
Ok next we are ready for the new Day, Which the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it: So then its down into the Garden-Fresh-Foods, we go to work, and as the Title says , weeding and Seeding to the Chooks or Chickens, which ever you like to say, and We take a bucket each and start in opersite ends of the rows, and we weed our vegetables, and when we get a bucket full each, we take them down to the yard where the Chickens are and we throw them out over the ground where they can eat and scratch around in them, and they never leave one stork there till next day all eaten, along with their Wheat.
Then they in turn produce, a good heap of eggs each day, a way of saying thank you for the weeds,and the Wheat, always make sure they have plenty of cool clean water, laid on in their yards, and they don't take much looking after, Then every 3 moths we change them into another part of the Garden, and then roterhoe, the place where they were and replant it all out into gardens, its a great way of keeping the weeds at bay, and it puts good Manure, on the ground for the next plantings.
Each Chicken yard is 30 Feet long and 4feet wide, just wide enough as so as we can weed it from each side, as so as not to tread on the beds and empackt it down hard.
As our whole Garden is only 120 feet long and 4 feet wide split up into 4 beds of 30 feet long and 4 feet wide, and changed every 3 months, keeps weeds under control, and plenty of every kind of Vegetable on the table in seasons. next post we will be chatting about our Flower gardens, so ladies get ready for a surprize, and if you want to know more about any of this leave comments and we will answer them each time we post, ok God bless you all, and keep planting.

Chives Plant of the Week
Hello and welcome to my garden-fresh-foods:
This week we are going to be planting chives, a close relative of onions,shallots,and garlic, are grown for their leaves, which have a mild flavour,and are particularly usefulfor seasonings.
And of course, when chopped up finely they enhance the flavour of salads, soups, and egg dishes.
They add much to mashed potatoes,egg samwiches, and omlettes.
They do well in any good, light garden soil that is suitable for onions.
It should be limed if it is at all acid; Full sun is best, but chives will tolerate pariale shade.
They make a good edging plant for the kitchen garden and are ideal for a container near the kitchen door, where they are easy assesible.
The Bulbs needn't be disturbed for three or four years.Then dig them up in spring, divide the bulbs and replant, in enriched soil.
When the plants are well established the leaves can be cut throughout the year, They can be cut back to just above the ground level and they will shoot again.
Chives grow in clumps about 20-30 centermeters,tall. They produce very lovely pink- mauve flower stalks and they should be cut back as so as not to exaust the plant; the foliaghe dies down in late winter.
Cover a few plants with dryleaves or dig them up and replant in frames on the green house to get very early growth.
Chives grow in the wild in Greece and Turkey, but not here in Tasmania,They have been used by Ancient civilization, the firstknown use of chives is recorded in chinese scrolls some 2000 years ago.
Ok till our next post on something sweet and nice, you keep well and eat well. and be healthy:

Weeds Grow As Well
Hi and welcome to Fresh-Food-From-Garden-2-Plate, Well this time we are now sowing Sweet Corn, plus More carrots, Parsnips,and keeping all the weeds under control, by every time we come into the Garden,we pull a bucket for the Chooks to eat and they love them,and its greens for them keeps their eggs with nice dark yokes.
Ok so our sweet corn is expecially planted, first by soaking in a organic fertiliser of liquid, over night.
Then into a nicely dug bed with no weeds in, and after a week they are up and running, after two weeks they are at least 9 inches high, so keep them going, with every fortnight, a liquid spray not too heavy just enough to let them know they are cared for.
Ok then we planted more Carrots, which every month we like to plant another bed of them as so as we have them all year round, as well as Parsnips because they nearly always go together in a soup, or a baked dinner, we soak them for about an hour in a nice organic liquid and then straight into the ground, they take about 10 days to shoot, then keep the water up to them expecially if they are in sandy soil.
And a general garden keeping, like weeding and keeping the soil dug over and when the beds are empty keep them well watered and plenty of organic Compost dug into them and this helps the garden worms to do their job by taking the compost deep into the soil, and helps it air rate the ground, and keeps the soil fertile.
Ok we now its time to say we hope you have a great Festive Season and don't forget what Christmas is all about and how it all started, with Christ being born as a babe, and came to save the lost, so hope you had a wonderful festive season, and drive safely, and have a prosperous 2010, and keep reading here and helping us to keep this blog going. thank you for all your input. See you soon. bye for now:
Who Loves fresh Food
Hi and welcome to.
Who loves fresh food: Well I don't think you can beat knowing where your food is coming from and if it is fresh or not.
Here at from fresh-food-from-garden-2-Plate, we specialise in knowing that its fresh, and if eaten on the day its very nutritious, as we grow organicly, using only compost made from all our garden waste, plus a bit of pulverised animal matter, and kept in bays for up to 2 months while it works and matures into a beautiful easy to sow into the garden rows as we plant.
Anyway we have just harvested Butter and Green Beans, my favourites are Butter beans, they are beautiful with salads, and you can pick them straight from the garden and eat raw, because you know there are no fertilisers and chemicals, been put on them; also the same with the green beans, and just about any vegetables in the Garden for that matter, many times my lovely Wife, will call me in for dinner, and when I say just a small helping for me please, she says have you been eating them raw, yes love I will Answer.
See the beauty of a beautiful vegetable Garden, you get all the great things that a diet needs, to make it do its work. We are on a raw fruit and vegetable diet, mainly to keep all the weight off that we accumulate over the Christmas month, yes I eat quite an amount of raw vegetables and fruit, in seasons, and have no trouble keeping my weight down, and this is a great thing to know, expecially if you have a weight problem, and by doing it this way you can still eat, as much as you want to be satisfied, and you are not cooking all the good vitimins, and minerals, out of the vegetables.
And you can also do as we have done and still like doing, you can juice them and drink the juices, also after you have juiced them, you can still eat all the roughage, from the juicing wether it be carrot juice, or mixed with fruit juice, never throw out any of the substances, from juicing your vegetables, and fruit always eat them, tuck them into a wrap, and fill it with some Yougart, of your choice, makes nice meal, washed down with a nice juiced vegies, and fruit.

Real Fire Hazard Around the Gardens
Real fire hazards around the Gardens
We are cleaning all the rubbish around the House and dwellings, before it gets to become a real fire Hazard, as its getting very dry now even the Gardens are consumming more water, to keep growing.
Yes its great to have plenty of Fresh-Food-From-Garden-2-Plate, And keeping the garden clean keeps fires away from the homestead.
Tonight we are having a nice cold salad, of fresh Lettues, Red Beet, Spring oinions, Tomatoes, cucumbers, salad dressing home made.
I just love all my garden s freshness its great feeling each day to know you can always get food, but we must never take it for granted, its here today and can be taken away tomorrow, the way our World is being told by very bad Government issiues, in how to run each country by evil Government, Controlled by the few, Greedy men in power, so stand up for what you believe is right and stick together, to bring them down.
Everything can get very Political every time we open the news paper some one has been badly done by, through wrong Justice systems, gone mad, give some people a little bit of power; and if they have had a bad upbringing they will surely abuse their rights with the power they are given, and look out.
Ok I'm finished, its tea time and I'm prepairing it and its salad tonight, easy on the stomack tonight, with a couple of hot Potatoes, mixed in with it,Check out my small bed of mixed Lettuces; so till my next Post I hope you keep safe and drive safely on the road give way where you should and do some thing nice for some one today ok, you be blessed bye 4 now.
