December Swapmeet

We started out the swapmeet this season with an unsually cold day (after all the warm and wet weather) but some substantial produce is already making an appearance. As the rain has been continual and we haven't needed to remember to water the garden we saw plentiful lettuce, early spuds, borage everywhere and lots of yummy broad beans.
Also swapped were excess tomato seedlings, kale seedlings and horseradish new season sproutings....
We're looking good for a plentiful season!!
See you at the Januay swapmeet on Saturday 8th.

April swapmeet

Locals braved the rainy (but beautiful) morning to turn up to the April swapmeet with Autumn goodies.

This months stars were the Jerusalum artichokes from Christine. I still have half of them left waiting to join some parsnips in a soup, and also some to go in the ground after I find a safe home for them...

Chestnuts started to make an appearance and silver beet persevered!



Also quickly snapped up were cherry tomatoes, spuds, beetroots, spring onions, cucumbers, yellow capsicums, broccoli, apples, quinces ....


Meg and Ginger get acquainted!

Dave takes home his collection...

Welcome

I've just set up this blog so I have somewhere to post pictures of all the great looking produce that people have been bringing to the swapmeets lately.

Daylesford Harvest Swapmeet is held at Perfect Drop, 5 Howe Street in Daylesford. We meet once a month on the second Saturday during the warmer months of the year. This year we have two more swapmeets coming up. The next will be on Saturday 10th April, followed by the last for this season on Saturday 8th May.

We kick off at about 10.00am and usually sit around sipping coffee until at least 12.00pm (well, I do anyway).

Bring along any excess vegies you have, herbs, cut flowers, seeds, seedlings etc. We are also very keen for people to bring in their preserves, jams or anything similar that they have made with their home produce.

Kids are always welcome, and now that Perfect Drop has a new sandpit they will have plenty to do!
