Hi Everyone

Im Kelly im new to this group. We have a small garden set up out the back which my dad has mostly been working on. We are growing brocoli, bok choi, beans, sunflowers, lettuces, we also have a lemon & orange tree and chickens! It's slow but we are getting there. Have planted a mandarin tree, and an almond tree I believe. We have just blanced all the brocoli b4 it flowered. It's nice having your own vegie's out the back we will grow more soon when the frost goes.

Hi all, Also not much going at the moment; but have loquats in flower. Am keen to gradually plant an understorey of strawberries.
Will have apricots and plums in summer, and hope for a glut of berries (not sure if I have the pruning time right for that yet!)

Welcome to all the new members. Have not been on site for a while. Look forward to swapping vegies with local south aussies out there. cheers Lynn Adelaide Plains.

Hi, I've just heard about this site so thought I'd drop in and say hi. I don't have anything to spare at the moment, but hope I will in time! What type of things are people here most interested in - food, seeds, seedlings? I try to grow most vegies from seed so if I know what people are looking for, I may be able to help! looking forward to getting to know you. cheers, di

Hi everyone. I'm in Kapunda near the Barossa Valley. Not growing much at the moment, but look forward to some mass seed planting in spring! I'll have some seedlings to swap I hope!

Hi, I've just joined this group. I have a few shallots (the purplish ones, not spring onions) ready for planting. That's all I can offer right now. I would love some lemons. What area are you in Geoff?

Hi, I've just joined this group too and I notice nobody has posted a comment here since the 26th of March. I don't have a lot to offer at the moment, just chillies, lemons and parsley but I love the website and hope it takes off.
