    Beautiful Winters morning in the Great South East..

    Thanks Cathy I really enjoy gardening and trying to create new ways to do things. The pawpaw started as a double then I managed to get 8 trunks but I had to remove 3 as it was a bit much for the root stock to produce that much fruit. I have 5 trunks remaining all producing lots of fruit plenty...

    Just make sure you plant in nice loose soil I use a stick about as wide as your thumb to push a hole in the ground and put the garlic in hard end down with the wispy end just poking out of the soil. Keep moist and should see sprouts in a week or two also make sure you leave the dry skin on don't...

    Brazilian Cherry

    Anyone have any experience with the Brazilian Cherry 🍒 the flavour as is can be rather tart with an unual after taste. Any jammers out there using these strange but very beneficial fruit.

    Got 4 filled just before the rain hit 2 weeks ago and because it was fresh soil that hadn't settled some got washed out and the beds sunk 4-5 inches. Had a chance today to mix some soil and top up those beds unfortunately ran out of mix due to some getting washed away in the rain. Only 2 left.. 😁

    Totally understand it takes a lot of will power not to plant too soon you can just imagine the beautiful produce bursting from the beds.. Wish I compacted the soil a little though, we've just had over 300 ml in the last 3 days and it has washed I little out throught the corner joins.

    Cheers mate not sure on what the plan is for this section to be honest I don't think the beds will be ready to plant until spring. I put a fair amount of vegetation at the bottom of each bed it will probably take about 12 weeks for everything to settle.

    Turmeric

    Howdy group just thought I'd share a little tip that may help your roses from dreaded die back. Once you cut your roses back get some turmeric powder in a small container dip in your finger and wipe over the freshly cut end. This will keep the cut healthy and help the healing process.
