We Grow Trees<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At Rainbow OMG we take a whole ecosystem approach to farming. We understand that although our main efforts are based on annual vegetable production, it is imperative that we look at our properties as a living system, requiring multiple layers of vegetation (trees, bushes, shrubs, vines, vegetation, root crops etc), a large diversity of insects and birds above ground and an entire underworld of micro and macro-biology in the soil. In such a dry and hot area as this we view the shade and dew drop from trees as a vital part of our ongoing water management strategy. We have planted hundreds of trees so far and have no plans on slowing down. We grow almost all of our trees from seed in our Nursery and plant them out when they are ready. We would love to sell trees in the future if enough interest is shown from our customers but otherwise will grow, plant and share trees forever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes From The Garden<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This morning felt quite close to a frost and the Zucchini’s are starting to feel the cold, they are still producing but very slowly. Cucumbers are also now finished. Beetroots have been a source of frustration for us this year, most of our roots are far smaller than we ever want to offer for sale so we are fermenting or dehydrating most of them. We have a freshly transplanted bed that we are hopeful will return us to the large beetroots we grew last year. 

At Rainbow OMG we plant by the Moon as much as we possible can. We do this as we recognise the centuries long wisdom of farmers observing that different stages on the Moon co-relate to growth in different parts of the plant. The cycle is Leaf, Flower, Fruit, Root, Stop. 

This week is a Stop week so we have been working on infrastructure, organisation and tidy up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week the Garden is providing Sugar Snap Peas, Celery, Bok Choi, Spinach, Butterhead Lettuce, Garlic, Zucchini’s, Eggs, Rainbow Chard, Carrots, Red Russian Kale, Basil and Coriander.

Crops currently growing but not ready are Beetroots, Capsicums and Parsley.

Some of our products may be a little different to what customers are used to so we will be providing Product Profiles in our Weekly Post and in a dedicated page on our website. This will provide recipe ideas and nutritional information for all of the vegetables and products we offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product Focus: Bok Choi<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bok Choi also known as Asian Greens are from the Brassica family of vegetable which also include Broccoli, Cabbage, Mustard etc. Our Bok Choi’s are much larger than those normally available in stores. The white stems are crisp and sweet and the greens have a mild, peppery flavour, Bok Choi grows year round in our climate so should form a staple of a seasonal, local diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are yet another nutritional powerhouse containing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
