Bello food gardening articles This is a project to create a food growing resource, based on the incredible body of lived knowledge for the Bellingen and surrounding areas. To make this local knowledge accessible to everyone.  Why? For community food security. To build food resilience for us all for any disaster. If the trucks stopped, the shops would empty very quickly. What would we feed ourselves?  It's all about our local growing conditions and what's really suitable. Many of the food plants that thrive in our local climate are not the familiar English peas and carrots in a row. All the articles are archived at: https://www.wherefishsing.com/bello-food-gardening/ The articles are available directly via email, roughly weekly until mid 2022 – sign up at: http://eepurl.com/hakBgT The latest one is Summer beans. What grows well here and how to grow them. A food resilience article: https://www.wherefishsing.com/bello-food-gardening/summer-beans-annuals/
