Australia is my country but I live on an island, the island State Tasmania, south of the mainland.
I write about my life, and how living with my mental illness has bought about change for me. I am not a homestead as I have no idea what I am doing most of the time, I am really just living my life, doing what I enjoy. I share all sorts of things, and the beauty of where I live on an acre of land with my dogs chooks, and native wildlife of all kinds.
Gardening, veggies, and flowers,I try it not necessarily brilliant at it but I try,and unbelievably succeed at times.
Mental health and mental illness are important issues and I live with CPTSD and was diagnosed 2023 with ADHD as adult. I began taking medication and share my personal experience in that and other aspects of my life with mental illness, and now on my road to having mental health but managing to live a contented life now. Certainly not always and my blog shares my personal experiences. I write for me, and if it helps anyone else how wonderful.
I look forward to meeting you. Tazzie.

They look so delicious!! Wauw!!! I went grocery shopping yesterday and now I realize why I was looking for peaches (there were none), it’s because I’ve seen them on your blog 😀
I hope they taste very good but I’m sure they will. I’ll have to wait for the right season here to enjoy them too.

The peaches are sublime. Sorry I feel I should say they are Yukky but I dont lie, so sorry. Juicy and flavoursome. It is kind of mean to be showing them off when so many of you are in depths of winter. Yet it will all work out as you will be having them and I will be wishing for them.

They look sublime and I’m glad they taste sublime too! Off course you can show them off, it makes me happy to see them. And I’m happy for you that they are so good. It’s nice to share the happiness!
Every season is needed, after winter comes spring and then summer. It’s like life a little bit 😉

Oh the joy of picking your own fresh fruit. In the past, I’ve picked our olives, lemons, grapes, oranges and figs in both Croatia and Spain. I also picked tomatoes, dates and watermelons when I was on a Kibbutz many years ago. How I envy you – now I live in a one-bedroom flat.

Wow to be able to travel but I know picking is hard work. I have picked cherries and blueberries to help friends out. How do you pick dates? Watermelons would be heavy and back breaking I would think. Such interesting experiences. Hard work but I imagine there was a lot of fun. I hope your home is near some parks and I am certain you have made it special for you.

What a lovely crop. Do you preserve them in any way or just share them around?

I will freeze a lot for winter and I may try and dehydrate some. I am laughing at this,thought it is going to be messy yet It may happen.

I’ve recently thought about getting a dehydrator (but don’t know where I’d store it in this tiny studio style apartment). Reason being that from time to time, my brother brings me masses of fruit/veg from his hobby farm and I never seem to be able to eat it all despite having a newish large fridge/freezer. Do you have a dehydrator or use you oven or something else?

I have a dehydrator I have used it a fair bit, but I also have just used my oven on low and dried some fruit in the sun on my roof, iron, with tulle over it to stop the bugs getting in it and the birds stealing it. If I get it out I have to bring it in as the possums will eat it .lol Perhaps you could borrow one or hire one.
