I love my veggie garden. My most recent harvest - lots and lots of bok choi. I am still only a newbie when it comes to veggie gardening, so it's a bit of hit and miss at the moment. But I'll get there!
On the weekend, I rode my new bicycle to the local farmers market to grab some fresh produce. I am really beginning to love bike riding (after a 15 year hiatus following one particularly nasty bike crash on gravel).
Dad's workmate gifted us a plethora of tomatoes, so I made some chutney. I also made stewed tomatoes to use in other recipes. I heard that the tomato crops in Victoria this year weren't that great thanks to the less-than-sunny summer we had, so I'm very glad to be on the receiving end of some delicious, organic tomatoes. Next year I will try growing my own.
And finally, I almost spent $200 on a brand new coat from a store in Melbourne. Thankfully I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on one garment of clothing, so I went op-shopping and found this vintage coat for $65 - and strangely enough it is uncannily similar to the $200 coat! Now my winter wardrobe is complete - here beginneth a clothing spending ban.

Well done on your green journey! It's funny how living in the country (or in my case, outer suburbia) is actually less sustainable in some ways, isn't it - I'm referring to the "having to drive everywhere" bit. We could definitely do with a better transport system! Anyway, keep up the good work and visit my blog if you like - lots of cheapie fashion tips as I'm a big fan of op shops and recycling.
