So we won't be having Barbel!!! Sitting with Jules from oceanjewelsfish brainstorming #thebanquet… http://t.co/ZgCQZVMav2
H A R V E S T was started in December 2012. It begun in a space that was unknown, undecided, undefined and unlimited. The process of conceptualising from this place was documented to show case how ideas are born, nutured and released. This vulnerable position of exposing early unfinished concepts was counteracted with the process and philosophy of giving in abundance.
THE BANQUET has been the outcome of H A R V E S T a collaborative, inclusive and interactive art installation based around food and provenance.
This blog picks up where I left off last year and showcases the ideas; philosophies; products; artworks; and the wonderful people who have become the family and home of this event
The next BANQUET is on Thursday 6th March.

Mielie Philosophy
A retired farmer replied to my question 'How long does it take to harvest a mielie from the time that you sow the seed?'
'One hundred days.'
It got me thinking... what could I harvest in one hundred days if I started today?... And took the time to water, nuture and love that new beginning?
I did this last year, 2013, for the first time, by planting my mielies and watching them growing. I love watering them, it gives me time to consider all the other things I am starting and wanting to manifest in 2014.
This year I planted a small crop in a corner section of my lawn. Last year I made a make-shift bed for them.

Begin Anywhere
Just Turn Up. Start.
This is our lives. Begin in the direction you would like it to end.
Pure magnificence! .... this journey.

Eight Herbs from Nats' Garden
I love Natalie's garden. I know the code to get in so sometimes her and Rich will come home to find me lying on the grass, usually means it's time for a glass of wine! Right now the Flame Lilies are beginning to flower - one of my all time favorites. Thanks for letting me harvest Thyme; Rosemary; Sage; Marjoram; Lemon Grass; a couple of Onions & Violas .... inculding some chamomile I had from before.
