MM I learnt pretty much everything I know about organic gardening from watching Gardening Australia on ABC (Friday nights, repeated on Sun Arvo). Peter Cundall is the main veggie man, he is a passionate organic gardener. They have a magazine, and they also have an organic gardening magazine too which could be good for a read. What sort of seedlings did you get?

Jazah - Ah the cot climbing must be exhausting for you! I remember finding this age really exhausting with DD1 - DD2 seems to be a little more compliant or maybe she's just better entertained/distracted by her older sister?? Anyway hang in there, and remember to do something nice for yourself every day. A little filler-upper.

PP - thinking of you today, let us know how the news-breaking goes.

AFM - this afternoon I am really looking forward to seeing my new naturopath for the first time! I can just tell she is going to be really helpful and positive. Then tonight I'm heading out for a coffee date sans enfants which will be nice too. I intend to eat cake today. (See there's that pairing of healthfood and cake again ).
