I’m still raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, so go and donate now!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I’ve been training hard for the Bridge to Brisbane. I’m doing pushups to get some upper body strength. This will allow me to push people out of the way and to support myself when I get to the end and need to lean on something.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Varsity Veggies – a big success</title><link>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholasperkins/varsity-veggies-a-big-success/</link><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +1000</pubDate><guid>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholasperkins/varsity-veggies-a-big-success/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;My mum has been working hard over the last three years to organise a community garden in her local community. The official opening was today and &lt;a href="http://www.definatalie.com/" title="Definatalie"&gt;Natalie&lt;/a&gt; and I went down to check it out. Natalie has even put together a video of our trip (and also a review of some new pens she recently bought). You can check out &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/definatalie" title="YouTube - definatalie's Channel"&gt;her other videos on YouTube&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s a space to allow people who don’t have the space, or who enjoy community company, to get together and grow their own veggies. There are around 40 plots of 3 meters x 3 meters which is plenty of space to grow enough veggies for yourself and to have some left to spare. There are even raised beds for the physically disabled to allow them to enjoy the fun in the sun.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
