Winter dormancy is the best time to shift a tree or a shrub (or plant a new one), especially when they originate from a “temperate climate” (the kind that shed their leaves and hail from UK, Europe, North America, etc).
When considering shifting a sub-tropical/semi tropical one, wait a little to just before spring sets in (mid-end September).
These sub-tropicals do not really like to be dumped into a wet and cold soil f...

I’ve been eating too many of the Daily Bread lamb pies lately as our local coffee hut here at the beach has started stocking them. They are too good, but they’ll send me broke, so I’ve worked on recreating one at home and it’s sensational! Meltingly tender lamb and a mix of spices that just hum with flavour.
Makes 4-6 single serve pies
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Last month we set a new household record.
Blame the baby, the extra washing, the old house, the cold weather, the dehumidifier, and whatever else. But despite booking in hours of free electricity across the month, between the gas heating and electricity, our family energy bill for June 2025 was the highest it’s ever been: $540.
I know we’re very comfortable relative to so many families, but even so, that has got...

So far, this winter of ours has been pretty wet. Yes, complaining might not help at all, but it pays to do something about the soaked soil.
Inundation is a health hazard for plants: constant wetness causes a range of diseases, many of which will be fatal.
