The latest from Justin on Instagram

 
Hi folks, It’s time for me to take another break from social media. See you in a while and in the meantime, keep standing up for what matters.
Inland gardeners, are you after a productive small tree that can handle the rigours of a tough climate? You need a pistachio or two! They cope well with heat, frost and drought, offering a seriously delicious bounty in return for minimal care. Check out my article in the July issue of Gardening Australia mag for more! (Btw, I didn’t write the title. Articles about nuts do not need to joke about mental illness, imho.)
A nice morning to savour the delights of Peacehaven. The park is a credit to Friends of Peacehaven, who put in thousands of hours worth of voluntary labour, all for the enjoyment of visitors like me. Thankyou (and please overlook the fact that I nicked a few cuttings 🌱😬).
It’s a shameful day for Australia with the green light for Adani’s turd of a coal mine. Nothing about the project stacks up. Everything about it stinks. It’s massive lifetime contribution to carbon emissions, along with the emissions of other coal mines that are now likely to be approved, has widespread ramifications. My home village, which once had a pleasant mountain climate and high rainfall, is effectively stuffed. It makes me incredibly sad and angry. Australians like to think that we live in a clever little country, but in reality, the place is just little. And it’s little because it’s being run by small minded fools. I’m embarrassed to be a Queenslander. #stopadani #climatebreakdown
Syzygium oleosum, the blue lillypilly, spotted on this arvo’s walk. Has anyone done anything with the fruit? Worth a forage? #bushtucker #nativefruits #lillypilly #syzygiumoleosum #foraging #streettrees
Seven degrees with a wind chill of zero...beautiful weather for my daily constitutional! Invigorating!
