It’s Australia’s best weekly lifestyle show packed full of ideas and information.
While Father’s Day is a time to celebrate our dads, for one family it’s a time to reflect. The last six months have been a traumatic time; losing two important people from their lives has left them reeling.
Tonight, Johanna, Adam and Charlie work hand-in-hand to create a beautiful backyard where the family can enjoy meals together, some sunshine and little bit of tranquillity.
To help unveil the new garden, Ed stops by to christen their new barbecue with a sumptuous Garlic & Garden Herb Beef Rump with Easy Almond Aioli.
While nothing can remove this family’s heartache when they look back, this garden will give them a peaceful place that can help them look forward.
DR HARRY – HEN-PECKED ROOSTERS
Introducing male and female chickens isn’t as easy as putting them together and leaving them to it. So, Dr Harry helps a family who found this out the hard way when their hens pecked away at their rooster. With his advice, they’ll be able to re-introduce this small flock of backyard chooks who will soon be mingling happily and productively.
KAREN – SPICED PUMPKIN & OLIVE OIL LOAF CAKE
Banana bread has been done to death, so Karen’s mixing it up, literally and figuratively, with a loaf cake made from pumpkin. The pumpkin’s rich, dense texture and natural sweetness mixed with gentle spices make this one delicious cake. If you’re disciplined enough to not eat it straight away, it’s even better topped with a fluffy cream cheese icing.
