Warrigal Greens (Tetragonia tetragonioides) grows like a weed in our climate

Warrigal Greens plants are always popping up and spreading around and in my garden beds. It loves our climate. It loves well drained soil, water, heat and humidity but also grows well in dry weather. When you have this growing you will never be short of a useful green vegetable. BUT....you must cook it because of its high Oxalic Acid content.

Link to Milkwood with loads of information on foraging, growing and eating Warrigal Greens.

Decisions made in high courts in the 1980s that favored the likes of Monsanto, Dupont, Syngenta, Group Limagraine, Land ‘O Lakes/Winfield Solutions, KWS AG, Bayer, Dow and Sakata have given away our food heritage, built around thousands of years of agricultural knowledge, to a few greedy entities in just a few short decades, but seed saving might just halt this corporate greed and degradation of our food.

A previous garden tour

 

We will have a very interesting afternoon as we will visit three gardens in one of the villages.  We will be meeting at the entrance to Bundagen before moving on to the village and it will be important to arrive on time so that we can travel in convoy.  Parking in Bundagen is restricted to designated car parks.  I will need to know that you are coming.  I will let you have all the necessary details as soon as I hear from you.  

Our numbers will be limited and it is essential that we car pool.
