In This Place & Time - Year Two August 2022 - JUly 2023
A sketch journal of seasonal changes in nature and my vege garden. Observations and weekly summarising sketches for a full 12 months.
We live in a web of interrelationships, but do we even know them? I hope to inspire you to notice what’s happening around you, in your particular place, through your particular local seasons.
We can’t keep reading generic European-based seasonal guides and expect them to fit areas of Australia that would encompass multiple European countries. Those seasons never did fit here.
And now the climate of our world is changing. How well do you know how to read the weather and plants? Is it too late to forage for chickweed? Are the blackfish around at the moment? Is it too early to plant out tomatoes? Was there enough frost this season to sweeten up the citrus?
