Green banana flour. This was made from Cavendish bananas, green but fully rounded out, sliced about 5mm thick and dried at 58C (dehydrator using solar power) for about 8 hours, then milled in my new (to me) op shop Vitamix. It's a lovely fine silky flour. It takes about 40 Cavs to make a kilo of flour, so well worth it. #permaculture #retrosuburbia

The dragonfruit are flowering! #permaculture #retrosuburbia

Next nice harvest will be gramichama. A small, subtropical tree with fruit that tastes just like cherries. And such pretty fruit! #fromthegarden #permaculture #retrosuburbia

#permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden #2fruits5veg Midummer breakfast - homegrown mango, ladyfinger banana, gudgin (davidson plum) and honey, on homemade Greek yoghurt.

A glass breakfast bowl on a wooden table spoon in the bowl, with slices of yellow-orange mango, slices of banana, and crimson plum, with crimson plum juice, over white yoghurt just visible underneath.

For breakfast this morning, I grated one of these tromboncino, mixed with chopped spring onion, lemon thyme, salt and pepper, an egg and a spoonful of flour, shaped into patties with wet hands and fried them in a little olive oil. Put a poached egg on top with some cherry tomatoes on the side. So good. #permaculture #retrosuburbia

Four pale green tromboncino zucchinis, yellow flowers still attached, hanging from a trellis. Deep blue sky in the background.

In the last week we've gone from peas every meal to beans every meal. Seasons turn. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

A hanful of green beans against a background of garden plants.

Saag with sourdough naan bread for dinner, so good. This time of year (it's spring in Australia), we eat a whole big bunch of silver beet (chard) most days. Saag or spanakopita or quiche or gozlemes or mahshi selek. But I think saag is my favourite. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden https://witcheskitchen.com.au/saag-with-cottage-cheese/

A little scramble of egg, peas, broccolini, silver beet, cherry toms, spring onion scapes for breakfast. All #fromthegarden #retrosuburbia #permaculture #thegoodlife

It's a scramble with lots of green, some peas showing, some tomato identifiable, some pale bits but more veg than egg.

We pushed hard and got the new (to us) tank installed yesterday and it rained last night. Half full already! Woo hoo! #permaculture #retrosuburbia

A white slimline water tank amongst banana palms at the side of a house.

Lots of spring onions in the garden atm so I tried making sourdough Korean scallion pancakes for breakfast. Crispy, flakey, easy, very delicious. #permaculture #retrosuburbia # #fromthegarden

A plate with triangles of pancake, brown fried outside with bits of green scallion showing through. Fork on top. Bowl of dark coloured dipping sauce in the background.

Little bit of sun and our bananas started ripening in the bag. First of 5 bunches we have on, two ladyfingers, two cavs, and this one a ducasse. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

A bunch of bananas on a banana palm. Blue sky in the background. The top few hands are very ripe though the rest of the bunch are green.

First roast of this year's coffee. I'll roast it a bit lighter next cup. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

A small glass bowl full of chocolate brown, slightly glossy coffee beans.

Early spring really, the days lengthening fast now. My suburban garden in subtropical NSW, Australia. #permaculture #retrosuburbia #fromthegarden

A lush and ver diverse foid garden, with broccoli, spring onions, carrots, peas, fennel, lettuce, silver beet all identifiable.

First pick of coffee beans for the season. With luck we'll get most of a year's supply thus year, from our little suburban garden. #retrosuburbia #permaculture #fromthegarden

The whole frame is filled with bright, dark red coffee berries.

Refritos, fried egg, broccoli and tomatoes for breakfast. All #fromthegarden . #permaculture #retrosuburbia.

A fried egg, very yellow yolk broken, on a pile of brown beans, with fried cherry tomatoes and broccoloi florets on the side.

Simple everyday sourdough out of the oven. #sourdough #retrosuburbia #smallpleasures

My haul of ginger today, from a 40 cm (16 inch) pot on my front porch. I have another couple of plants growing in the garden, and from them I just dig up a bit when I want it. This potted one gets harvested all at once, to make pickled ginger (for rice paper rolls and sushi) and a shoot replanted in new compost each year. Such a lot, for so little space or effort. #retrosuburbia #permaculture https://witcheskitchen.com.au/pickled-ginger/
