Hi Kaz,How did the "Yesterday & tomorrow " plants survive. I have more suckers coming up if we need to try again.
Not much produce in the garden now, climbing beans just producing a few, so
have planted a new row also Long beans which usually do better in our hot hopefully wet summers. Got some sweet corn coming, but had to plant several times as something ?birds kept digging up the seed as food, even after some of the plants were 100mm tall !! How is the egg supply.

HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FRIEND IF YOU HANG OLD DVD AND CD BY FISHING LINE FROM TREES YOU GET RID OF CROWS TOTALLY AND EVEN WHEN THEY FALL OFF THE CROWS JUST DONOT COME BACK. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT WOULD EFFECT OTHER BIRDS ASWELL. DIANE AND FRANCIS MCGRATH

Hi All
Just had a thought, if anyone has any surplus veggies I would be interested in swapping for home made soap. I dont have very much veggie surplus at the moment but I do have some italian flat parsley and rosemary and soon will have some limes, cheers Trinette

I'm happy to swap eggs for anything else I can preserve. All of my reserves have run out so I'm on the hunt. Apples, pears, stonefruit, tomatoes etc etc.

Hi Trinette, I am at Wellington Point. I have heaps of eggs from our chookies if you would like to swap for some mulberries?
