Homemade in NZ

Spring is in the air at last so what better time to start this blog.  So what's this blog all about then?  I'm all about eating fresh, seasonal food made at home rather than bought from the supermarket in a packet where you need to be a scientist to decipher the ingredients list.  I'm not militant about it, I work full time and have a family to wrangle so it's not always practical but I'm working on making it a more natural part of our lives.  We bought a house 9 months ago so my long term goal is to grow 90% of our fruit & vegetables in our small urban backyard.  I've made a start earlier this year with fruit; planting feijoa trees, blueberries, chilean guavas, strawberries, passionfruit, and citrus and have in the last couple of weeks started planting lettuce, mesclun, basil, beans, beets and purple brocolli.  Given we've got a new mortgage to hit we've not got buckets of money to spend on setting up the garden so its a bit slowly slowly but we'll get there and I hope you'll get something out of this adventure too
