I love the idea as we go through so much garlic, and it is really hard to find Aussie grown garlic. I am concerned with some produced in foreign countries as I know they dont have the same laws regarding pesticides and fertilizers that we do. So, here goes, I am planting a couple of cloves today and will look forward to my own produce. Sounds nice and easy!

Cheap fun for the Kids
LJ & I are currently housebound as the weather is too cold and wet to enjoy a good walk, so I am trying to find creative ideas to entertain a very active toddler. When I was a little, I used to love making things with playdough, so I have looked up a recipe to make some for LJ to enjoy. Its very simple and can be stored in your fridge for a longer life.
The best thing is that it probably costs under one dollar to make, so is cheap and is a good way to save money, rather than buying play dough from the shops.
Ingredients
1/2 cup salt
2 tbs cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tbs oil
food colouring
Method
Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and stir over heat until dough resembles play dough. Then just allow to cool and store in an airtight plastic bag or container.
Once LJ has had a play, I will add some photos of my endeavors.
