This was sent from school today. First time I've seen something like this from the school. Anyone else get this warning?
Nice garden mate. Gardening isn't really my thing but I've got a few things growing.
My mandarin tree (came with house) is in full fruit atm. Quite sour and lots of seeds but it's from my garden so I'm eating lots.
Chickens scratching up around the tap. I get 10-12 eggs a week from 3 silkies.
Behind my mandarin tree is a veggie patch with zucchinis, beetroot and herbs. We always get heaps of strawberries when its a bit warmer. My infant child has fresh strawberries and raspberries every day.
I'm pretty lucky to have a bit of space. I planted a pink lemon and plum trees when my wife was pregnant; I planted pomegranate & peach trees once my kid was born. In a couple of years they will have fresh fruit in the yard. I just hope they aren't picky waters like me.
Outright bans are a bit much, hopefully some petitioning will allow a small amount. We have a chicken limit based on land size; average block of 500m2 can have 10 chickens without a permit. A couple of blocks over they have around 15 chooks and they said it was easy enough to get a permit.
I don't know the rules regarding bees but I have noticed hives in my area some I'm assuming they are permitted.
Good luck petitioning. π
