It’s the beginning of the summer fruiting trees,

It’s the beginning of the summer fruiting trees, such as the stone fruits, nuts and mulberries, says gardening columnist JACKIE WARBURTON.

The mulberry is a fast-growing tree that fruits within its first few years and grows well in our climate.

Mulberries are deciduous and have buttery yellow leaves in autumn. It can be used as a feature tree in a weeping form or as a quick-growing shade tree.

It fruits on new growth, so pruning to keep it in shape needs to be done after harvesting and when the weather is still warm. This will maximise fruiting capacity the following year.

You can fairly bet that when Queanbeyan Palerang R

You can fairly bet that when Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council embarked on building its new headquarters in Crawford Street, it wasn’t expecting to have Shakespeare on site, but director of @theqqueanbeyan Jordan Best is taking care of that oversight with her coming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

In what will also serve as the effective unveiling of the newly-landscaped Aunty Louise Brown Park directly outside The Q, she will stage a play beloved of even the most ardent Shakespeare-haters.

There is already a theatrical aspect to the park, with a slightly raised auditorium. But there’ll only be one set piece, a hammock and the actors will enter from all over the place. There will be no lights, the show will finish just as it’s getting dark.

A newish restaurant in the city, takes a fresh, cr

A newish restaurant in the city, takes a fresh, creative and artisan approach to Indian cuisine, says dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

Amara’s menu features dishes that are both modern and steeped in Indian tradition. The focus is just as much on presentation as it is the secret mixing of hand-ground and carefully sourced spices to create deep and exotic flavours.

A house speciality is the dosai and we ordered ours with a spiced ground lama masala filling (mini size $13 and regular $26). The crepe was slightly crispy and wonderfully thin. It was served hot with two dips, one cooler than the other. We were encouraged to dip our dosai into both before indulging, which we did, appreciating the advice.

At a lively event onstage at the Causeway Hall in

At a lively event onstage at the Causeway Hall in Kingston, ACT Hub unveiled an ambitious season of 11 productions and a mini-festival of plays on Thursday evening.

Theatre followers will recall that in April 2022, the hall became home to Everyman Theatre, Chaika Theatre and Free-Rain Theatre Company, coming together as an independent performance team that has quickly come to prominence in the local theatre scene.

The 2025 line-up includes a new Australian family drama, a Lorca classic, ACT Hub’s first Shakespeare, a co-production and return seasons of two former successes for Everyman Theatre.
