In my latest post, I briefly touch on life in southern Tasmania as the seasons change. And I share a great recipe for making your own soap at home, that is so easy to make, that anyone could do it. I also throw in a great tip to help source some cheaper ingredients.
Today, I share how I set up my indoor seed and propagation station and how you could set up a similar station in your home. I also give an update on the plants in my garden and the progress of the strawberry cuttings.
In the final part of my strawberry trilogy, I demonstrate how you can turn an old PVC pipe into a magnificent strawberry tower that allows you to make the most of the limited space in your garden while maximising your strawberry yield! I also share my plans and goals for the rest of 2024.
In this second part of the Strawberry trilogy, I discuss two methods to propagate strawberries at home: growing from cuttings and from seeds.

Additionally, I talk about my upcoming post next week where I plan to construct a strawberry tower in the final part of the series, emphasizing the joy of growing one's own produce.
Today I kick off my new strawberry trilogy with a brief look into the various types of strawberries and how to create ideal growing conditions for them in your own backyard.
In today's post, I talk about how I have been reflecting on my efforts so far and what I would do differently in future. I also speak about the importance of regularly checking in on your goals and making adjustments if necessary.
