Welcome to Greenhills Paradise

Exploring the Beauty of Permaculture & Urban Food Forests

My new website under construction!!!

My huge Rampicante Pumpkin is starting to colour up now which means it is ripening to enable me to keep it if I want for a few months.
Very strange things happening though - up until now, this was the only pumpkin that grew on my vines, and now they are all starting to produce. The ones growing now will not be able to be keepers as they won't reach maturity, but they will be tasty like a zucchini so I am happy. 😊

I’ve had 2 groups of lovely people coming to visit my garden through @secretgardensnz this past week — and they got to see the garden in its slightly storm-ravished state!

A few months ago I would have felt quite stressed and worried about how everything looked. But I’m learning to accept that these weather events are becoming part of our reality. Instead of constantly trying to repair every little thing, I’m choosing to embrace the changes and let the garden evolve naturally.

There’s still plenty of beauty here — just a little more wild and weather-shaped these days.

If you’d like to see what a small backyard can become when it grows into a high-producing food forest, visit Secret Gardens and book an appointment!

50 shades of grey.

50 shades of grey.

As most of you know, I love having the parasitic wasps - or paper wasps, patrolling around the plants in my food forest.
They are NOT a threat to our honey bees!
I took this video a while ago - but just love looking at it.

The adults eat:
Nectar and sweet foods
Fruit juices
Sometimes human food (BBQs, drinks, etc.)

Larvae eat:
Chewed-up insects (white butterfly caterpillars, flies, spiders)
Adults hunt insects, chew them, and feed them to their young.

As long as you know where their nexts are they will be no problem. I have one nest only inches from my head when I walk into the chickens area, and they never trouble me. The only time I have been stung is when I have put my hand into a nest that I didn't realise was there. The ones you actually see are no problem.
The next time you find a paper wasp nest, think twice before you suddenly decide to get rid of it, and think of the good they will do in your garden.

Another lesson learnt the hard way!
After all the rain we have had over the last 2 weeks, I didn't think to go and check my 2 mushroom inoculated logs.
I was out clearing storm damage around them to find I missed an entire new bloom of Shitake mushrooms. Absolutely gutted!!
These have been producing on and off for about 4 years now, but the logs are starting to decay so time will be limited I imagine. Maybe I will put another log beside this to see if I can get the new log infested with spores naturally.
That would be good. 😊

My entire section is only 609 square meters, with a small house on it. When I am out in the middle of the food forest I can't see another house.
Seems surreal really.

The wind and rain have taken toll on my grapes. Before Christmas I had a bumper crop, now not so good, and many grapes are just dropping off the bunches before they are ripe.. I have bagged what I can reach and hope to get enough to make more vinegars, and for eating.

Progress report from my Rampicante Pumpkin.
It is now touching the ground, and measures in from top to bottom ( not taking into account of its bends and curves lol) at a whopping 1.35 meters long so farcand still growing!!
This is going to be one hell of a pumpkin.
Pumpkin recipes anyone??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This year I have tried growing a couple of new varieties of pumpkin I got from @kingsseedsnz
Queensland Blue and Organic Butternut Honeynut.
I have got 2 whoppers on my Queensland Blue plant, and lots of cute little Butternuts.
I was determined this year to have pumpkins to store for winter as last year I had a total fail.
Feeling much more positive, and then I have my Rampicante which has now touched the ground and will be tomorrows post!

This summer I am starting a new watering system in parts of my garden. I have got 3 large plastic rubbish bins which I have positioned in areas that are not worth dragging the hose to for small watering jobs. I have dropped some comfrey leaves into the water as a wee bit of extra oomph. Filling an empty milk container, from the bin, I can spot water exactly what needs watering saving me the hassle of moving the hose and watering areas that don't actually need the water. I think it is working well.
What are some of the ways that you all water???

Last year I made a heap of apple and red grape vinegar. Today I have started some damson plum vinegar with the addition of 2 Louisa plums. To be able to make pickles and chutneys from my home grown fruit and veges along with home made vinegar to me is the ultimate. A full circle!!

I’ve decided I’m not replanting what keeps getting damaged by the storms. There comes a point where it just doesn’t make sense.

Instead, I’m going to focus on the plants that are doing well, in the areas that are less exposed to these vicious winds.

It’s soul-destroying to lose things again and again — but our world is changing. These winds and heavy rains are becoming more regular, and we need to adapt the way we garden.

Resilience over repetition

Rampicante zucchini (also called Tromboncino) is a vigorous, climbing Italian heirloom squash. Eat young like zucchini or let mature into a nutty winter squash, perfect for trellises and pest-resistant. It produces long, curved fruit that can grow very large but is best harvested young for tender eating, with seeds only in the bulbous end. You can find seeds from NZ suppliers like @kingsseedsnz

I promise this image is exactly how I took it from the top of the egg box on my chook house. The bird has either had a feast of blueberries or perhaps some nightshade berries?
Can you see the cute face on the bottom splat, and a scary mask on the top one!
I couldn't believe my eyes lol.

This is how easy it is to make new garden. I am prepping a new area along the edge of our deck so next summer I can grow tomatoes along here with a long string each from the roof.
I spread thick newspaper on the grass, and will continually chop and drop, add grass clippings, chicken manure from the chook house and leaf mulch. By spring it will have decomposed to a rich humus ready to plant in. Very little cost just a bit of time.

Who else uses the no dig approach in their garden?

Back in September when I went and picked up some 9 week old chickens, there were so many dozens to choose from, I literally just grabbed the first 4 I could get.
They have all grown into the most beautiful girls, and are laying 4 magnificent dark brown eggs everyday.
I love my girls so much.

My last Mountain PawPaw ripened in time for these 2 to devour it. Nothing like getting out of bed in the morning and being handed this to eat!
Like me, they loved it and wanted more!

As a big surprise to my children and grandchildren, I turned my food forest into a night-time fairyland.
Last night was the final reveal so I can share it here now.
I never dreamed it would be this amazing, and now have plans to improve it each year!
My grand daughters were just totally in awe with the magic of it.
Isn't this what Christmas is all about?

My house stays so cool naturally over summer. My nor west facing large grape and Kiwifruit covered pergola shades all sun from coming into my lounge and the east (sunny) side of my house I keep the windows and curtains shut until late afternoon. When the sun has properly gone around I open them up.
Work with nature, not against it.
So easy, and such a difference maker.

My first Rampicante pumpkin is forming!! This is an amazing producing variety. The pumpkins grow over a meter long and are so sweet and delicious. It also keeps well and only has seeds in a small area down the bud end, so nearly all flesh. Win. Win!

ABOUT GREENHILLS PARADISE

Promoting Permaculture and Food Sovereinty

Greenhills Paradise is dedicated to sharing the love for permaculture and small urban food forests. Our goal is to provide a platform for educational articles, product sales, and captivating photos that inspire and educate. We aim to grow a community while promoting the unique concept of 'growing food not lawns' and providing expertise in this field.

Happy Stories

We have just brought our first property with a 750 m2 section. We have dreamed of creating a food forest but just didn’t know where to start. There were no trees or plants on our section so we have had a blank canvas to begin. I had an hour long consultation with Jo and suddenly everything slotted into place what to do and how to start. We have now got all our mulch down, and have started planting our fruit and nut trees and lower growing plants. Thankyou Jo, I would recommend you to anyone wanting to get help in creating their own unique food forest.

Shelly

We live in a rental so I am unable to put many plants around the section as I would love to do. Jo has been amazing helping me with our veggie garden and working on what we have on the section. It is amazing what you can do with limited resources, and I would never have imagined we would be looking out to the beautiful garden that we are now.
Thank you Jo !

Patricia.

I am very grateful & feel more competent in flowing where permaculture takes me. My Journey is only beginning and I am satisfied that now I have confidence I know where to begin as before it was overwhelming. At building the ground up with mulching and sectioning my areas has helped. Thank you Jo I really appreciate your time and services. I highly recommend you.

Ami.
