And another thing.  The grevilleas are lookin beut.  The fig is lovin the sunnier weather, and the 'stick tree'?  well its just doin its thing. 

Success!

Jalapeno seedling, planted 3 days ago in hot water system greenhouse (see below).

Greenhouse action

Tomatoes in the green house, doubled in size in two weeks, needed a re-pot, looking very healthy, and with the weather in Melbourne fineing up, should be fine.  Have even put some younger 'Wild Sweetie' seedlings in for a test.

Hot water green house, keeps things nice and hot, a bit too hot sometimes, but we'll give it a crack, gonna get these chillies going one way or another.

Seedlings - week 3

Mr Tibbles tuli kohvitama :)

She is staying over for the winter..

When Mi moved to China to do some work overseas she left us to look after this beautiful fragrant tree. (Left, top) Not sure whats the name but it has clusters of white small blossoms with amazing fragrance you can smell a block away. love it:)

When we got it last autumn it fitted nicely to the back seat of Mi's car. .. it has grown a lot since. And it has moved to larger terracotta pot (Right, top) Might be to big to move?!

Hello Spring - Seeds are going in..

This year we decided to go with a  3-step grow-up for our seedlings:
first trays inside, then repotting and move to the greenhouse in mid October  and finally planting to the garden in November.

Tomatoes are a poppin

G'day and welcome to the gardnin blog.

Tonight we are lookin at whats comin up this spring, and when i say comin up i mean it!
We chucked in some tomato seeds about 10 days ago (i'll tell ya the types later) and they are up and rarein ta go.
Just had a look at em now and we have 15 tomato seeds that have germinated and reached for the sky.
We have em sittin in the window at the moment, in a seedlin raisin mix, (just looks like normal pottin soil to me so we chucked in some of this propgation stuff we got from bunnins), seems to do the job cause theyre all comin up.

As you can see, we've gone a little overboard, but doesnt matter cause weve got plenty of room, and if we have left overs i'll give em to some friends (probably Mum).

So, the tomato types we have so far are:
- Wild Sweetie (worlds smallest and sweetest tomato variety)
- Cherry Cocktail (grew em last year and they went off)
- Black Cherry (never tried to grow, but sound like best of both worlds)
- Grosse Lisse (dunno much about em, red tomato)
- Black Krim (big black.......tomatoes)
- Giant Tree (not sure about this one, apparently grows 4-6 metres, should be interesting)

Apart from tomatoes, our cucumbers have taken off very nicely, they were the first of all the seeds to pop up, theyll be first to try out or new green house I think.

Apart fromt hat we have a whole bunch of other stuff that is just taken its sweet time, so we'll worry about em some other day.
