Denmark Homegrown

22/06/2026

Hello foodie fam 💛

Winter has definitely arrived, but yay for the days getting longer! ☀️ I had the best shortest day of the year. It seemed to go on forever. Funny how time slows down when we fill our days with new experiences and a little awe and wonder.

A little life update... after much contemplation, I've decided to head off to a family reunion ✈️💛

We have just TWO more box weeks before Denmark Homegrown takes a winter hibernation. At this stage, I expect to be back in September, refreshed and ready for a spring season full of veggie goodness 🌱

Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone to take over while I'm away, so we'll be pausing for winter.

The recent rain has also caused flooding on one of our farms, a reminder that life keeps us humble and that sometimes the best thing we can do is trust, adapt, and go with the flow.

Lettuce fill your boxes

Thank you for supporting local growers, local food, and this little dream of mine. You've helped make it so much more than a veggie box 💛

And if you know anyone looking for a short term stay in Denmark over winter, please let me know 🏡

Love,

Hello foodie fam 💛

Winter is here and I'm already looking forward to the longer days post winter solstice!

Here’s what’s in this week’s box
Local Market Box June 20th 👇

Quick winter tip 🍲
Eating well helps keep us warm… think soups, stews, roasted veg, and slow cooked goodness to fuel the body from the inside out.

Exciting news 🥔
We’re trialling ORGANIC POTATOES this week!

Celeriac tip 🥕
Roast it, mash it, or turn it into creamy winter soup. It’s weird looking but delicious once you get to know it 😄

A fun garden moment… my cheeky chicken Popcorn keeps sneaking into the garlic patch, but quickly escapes again when I turn her way! Fingers crossed she doesn't scratch up all my garlic goodness.

Stay warm everyone, see you Saturday 💛

🍲As the cooler weather settles in, this is the season for soups, stews, & slow cooker magic; warming meals shared around the table

🍎 Little flavour tip…
Adding apples to soups and stews brings a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with earthy veggies.

Chayote (aka Choko) inspo
Those funny little green pear shaped things are wonderfully versatile. Slice into stir fries, curries, soups, or roast alongside other veggies. They soak up flavour beautifully and can even be grated into salads or kraut.

🌙 Garden notes
Perfect weather for composting, mulching, planting garlic, leafy greens, onions, broccoli, herbs, and tending the soil before winter fully settles in. No garden? Team up with someone who has one. Food tastes better when you grow together 💛

🌱 Limited seedlings available at the end of the form if you are feeling inspired to grow a little food of your own.

Also, little reminder… we will be taking June 6th off. Yes, I know I said no more days off 😅 But it is my 40th birthday, and I am giving myself a little space for reflection, celebration, and soaking up this wild beautiful life.

Thank you for supporting local growers, local food, and this little veggie dream of mine 🌱

See you Saturday for all the fresh veggie goodness.

Love,

The trellis goes in before the plant. Not after. Driving stakes into soil once roots are established damages the root zone you spent weeks building.

But timing isn't the only thing that matters. Each climbing vegetable grips differently — tendrils, twining stems, or heavy fruit that can't grip at all. Wrong vine on wrong support means the plant either can't hold on or tears itself down mid-season.

Six vines matched to the support they need:

- Cucumbers — grip with thin curling tendrils. Need string or thin wire. Wooden lattice is too thick for tendrils to wrap. An A-frame string trellis lets fruit hang underneath and grow straight

- Pole beans — twine their entire stem around a support. Need vertical poles or string, not flat panels. Bamboo teepee or a string-and-stake setup

- Peas — grip with delicate tendrils. Need thin mesh, chicken wire, or netting. Heavy structures waste material — pea vines are light

- Tomatoes (indeterminate) — don't climb at all. They lean. Need a cage, stake, or woven twine system to hold them upright. No trellis teaches a tomato to climb — you're propping weight

- Small melons and squash — grip with tendrils but produce heavy fruit. Need a strong arch or cattle panel. Fruit over a pound or so needs a fabric sling or the weight pulls the vine down

- Passion fruit — tendrils that grip hard. Need a sturdy permanent structure — chain-link fence, heavy wire panel, or pergola. Will cover whatever you give it within a couple of seasons

One vine. One matched support. The rest handles itself 🌱

Is anyone else completely obsessed with this place we call home?
The autumn sun has a magical touch on the ocean and land that makes the earth sing. No wonder the fresh food tastes so gosh darn good around here 🌱

Feel free to request substitutions… or build your own box 😊

Autumn inspo 🍂
Roasted pumpkin, leafy greens, toasted seeds, feta, and apple with a honey mustard dressing = earthy crunchy yumminess.

Garden notes 🌙
Waning moon = perfect time for composting, mulching, pruning, weeding, and planting garlic, onion, beetroot, and carrots.

📦If you cannot make pickup in time, I can leave your box at the back of Palm Court (behind the butcher).

So grateful our community continues to be kind, safe, and supportive 💛
Thank you for helping us keep growing with the seasons.

Love, warmth, and crunchy veggie vibes,
