Marmalade cottage was built in 1917. Then it was renovated in the 1950s. Then nothing, really. It's been empty for a couple of years and still has its fabulous, kitsch linoleum floor coverings. And an outside loo and a beautiful cream and green Metters wood stove. Come with us as we transform a gracious shell into a functional house and create a fragrant, edible garden around it.

Fruit
Aren't these magnificent? They're bush tucker: rosella or native hibiscus. Best known in a small square jar in sickly syrup to be added to cheap bubbly.
They're the seed pod, and they make a wonderfully tart jam, rather like cranberries. We should have enough from our four plants for about two jars.
