BOGI fair 2010

This gathering of the members and followers of Brisbane Organic Growers Inc under the Albion Overpass and aptly situated on McDonald Street is all about organic plants and seeds, rare farm animals, growers competitions and backyard farm stuff. My friend Sue had entered six of her best hens eggs.

We were excited to find Rare Chook man Mark Tully showing young bantams black silkies and plymouth rock. There was a lot of fascination for the big gingerhaired pig, piglets, - a mother and kid long eared Nubian Goat and two vocal Guinea fowl.

wandering the market, collecting a few more culinary plants a jam or two then we headed towards the lush line-up of hopefuls competing inside the Peace Hall.

Now I'm remembering village hall fairs like this my UK childhood - and their closely related buzz event the Jumble Sales.

and wow! Sue's hens eggs have won 2nd prize.

Love those nasturtions in the backgound they are big in my backyard this spring.
