Writing

For as long as I can remember I have loved telling stories. It didn’t matter if they were imagined adventures in my head, playing games as a child, or scribbling in countless notebooks and word documents for years.

I currently am working on Project Mistbound, the first book in an adult fantasy trilogy. I am currently working on my 5th draft, thanks to the feedback from my wonderful beta readers!

Making good use of my birthday gifts; say hello to Making good use of my birthday gifts; say hello to the new additions to the garden and updates on the rest! Things are growing well and seeds are still sprouting. I finally have an onion sprout, and my carrot luna white variety have finally put up two sprouts! A good afternoon in the garden on a warm sunny day.

Huge thanks to @gkirschner.pottery and @march.stre Huge thanks to @gkirschner.pottery and @march.streetcommunitygardens for running such a fun workshop this morning. Thoroughly enjoyed talking about gardening, bees, and art. Even got to take some native violets home. 🌱✨❤️ 

Nothing like a morning out in the sun.

I’ve just finished Soyangri Book Kitchen and picke I’ve just finished Soyangri Book Kitchen and picked up my new read, A Midnight Pastry Shop Called Hwawoldang. 

As I put my latest book into my reading journal I realised I hadn’t posted on my blog in quite some time. Months. And so I wrote a  short hello again, a little update on life and what I’m doing. Swipe to read the intro, link to the full piece in my bio.

Garden update: Who knew beans and nasturtiums grew Garden update: Who knew beans and nasturtiums grew so bloody fast! 🌱

The seedlings are popping up and going strong. Growing inside on a heat mat has been a winner. We have such a range now; spinach, lettuce, various tomatoes, capsicums and chillies, eggplant, beans, basil, nasturtiums! Unfortunately some just didn’t work, which was the bulk of my lettuce seeds and the onion seeds, so those got tossed in the garden today as compost. May as well use the soil! 

But it’s all trial and error. Today I planted various carrot varieties in the outdoor veggie bed alongside another attempt at lettuce. All tucked under a greenhouse cover to keep them warm ahead of the week of rain. Fingers crossed we get some sprouts in the coming weeks. 🤞🏻 

Few more weeks and hopefully our indoor seedlings will be growing outdoors.

Pretty happy with how the gardening journal is com Pretty happy with how the gardening journal is coming together over the last month. A little compendium of my gardening experiments and learnings. ❤️🌱 

So far we have grown from seed: 
6 Heirloom Spinach seedlings
6 Capsicum Californian RED seedlings
1 Heirloom Lettuce seedling

Others are slow going since it’s pretty cold at the moment but fingers crossed we get more sprouts soon with the heat mat indoors. 🤞🏻
