HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #726 | 24 SEPTEMBER 2026
High Headliners! Another week of glorious weather with virtually no rain—remember when it wouldn’t stop, not long ago? The garden is spring happy and it’s hot enough again to dry bananas in my sun box. Flowers are everywhere and the Bauhinia tree looks just gorgeous. […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #725 | 17 SEPTEMBER 2026
High Headliners! The rain’s largely gone and plenty of warm sunshine starting to appear. On the garden side I’ve secured a whole new crop with my amazing extendable banana bagger made by a local farmer. Without it the bush turkeys eat them green. I had […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #724 | 10 SEPTEMBER 2026
High Headliners! A week of perfect blue skies, with an odd Simpson cloud or two. They keep saying it’s going to rain but it hasn’t much, until last night, when the garden got a gentle watering. There’s a couple of homeless people camping here whom […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #723 | 3 SEPTEMBER 2026
High Headliners! I’m picking oranges every morning for juice and we just had a week of glorious sunshine, which makes heaven even more obvious. No doubt it’ll be hot soon enough and I read that it was the mildest winter in 150 years, so look […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #722 | 27 AUGUST 2026
High Headliners! The weather is warmer and this weeks fruit is the tamarillo, my grandkids’ favourite, hanging from the trees in bunches like bright red eggs. They had bugs in them last year so we bit the bullet and pruned them hard, sacrificing all the […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #721 | 20 AUGUST 2026
High Headliners! Started raining as soon as we got home, but not much, ideal for the garden, in fact. Still making fresh orange juice every day and we picked seriously the biggest pineapple I’ve ever seen, and before any animals found it, so it was […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #718 | 30 JULY 2026
High Headliners! Almost a week of sunny weather—unbelievable—and it has to be by far the best citrus year ever. I’m collecting them in a wheelbarrow. Virtually all off the ground as I’m colourblind and not confident at all with green, yellow and orange. So I […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #715 | 9 JULY 2026
High Headliners! Finally the cold arrived, along with drizzly rain that reminds me of childhood Warrnambool weather. Winds fresh off the Antarctic and frozen mornings riding around lambing ewes at first light before the crows picked their eyes out. Raw and real stuff city folk […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #713 | 25 JUNE 2026
High Headliners! Raining again now, makes the few sunny days we just had very precious. We picked some of the hemp crop just in time and the rest will have to wait. The few males we missed early made some of it quite seedy but […]
HEMP EMBASSY HEADLINES #710 | 4 JUNE 2026
High Headliners! A week of sunshine makes heaven so obvious! The mud is drying up, we’re drowning in citrus and our favourite native red raspberries are starting to appear. The hemp crop is quite seedy so we’re watching closely in case the birds discover it. […]
