I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Kev's Patch

Image stolen shamelessly from the Kev's Patch website.


In all likelihood, you've probably all heard by now about the Obama's veggie patch on the lawns of the Whitehouse, and that the Queen is now growing vegetables at Buckingham Palace.

Earlier this year, famous Aussie organic gardener Peter Cundall suggested Mr Rudd start up his own organic veggie patch, and recently equally famous kitchen gardener and cook, Stephanie Alexander, challenged the PM to start his own at the Lodge!

Now bloggers Gavin, Darren and Julie have thrown down the gauntlet and started the Kev's Patch website, with the aim of spurring Aussie bloggers to get behind the movement.

I think it's terrific - so go and visit their site to find out what you can do to help the cause ;-)

Thanks for the mention Julie!

With enough support and a bit of publicity, I hope we really can get Kev's Patch off the ground. What a 'stimulus package' that would be!
