Re: The Garden of Woz...
Farm World, the local agriculture show is on today, tomorrow and Sunday here. Went with wife to sort some things without the kids being present. An interesting chicken run setup observed, one of which will probably migrate to here.
Also spoke with the owner of Grow Heirloom Heritage Seed who have a good selection of vegetable seeds, although a bit limited in tomato terms. This will change. They're more than happy to receive some different tomatoes so will take some down on Sunday when we head back with the kids.

Forgot to add, 4 Chilean Guavas, a favourite of the rest of the family, I have not bothered to eat many due to limited volume of fruit, plus two Strawberry Guavas, one red, one yellow migrated to the Garden of Woz from the GHHS seeds. Plenty of blueberry varieties there, but no room for more here at the moment.

Re: The Garden of Woz...
Okay, now that the power is back on, seems to be dropping out for reasons unexplained a lot lately, I can add that the good folks at GHHS were very insistent on a swap and as well as the two packages of seed they passed on a thornless Loganberry and a thornless Raspberry, which is an old cultivar that someone has decided to bring back. They could not remember the name at the time, but considering that we picked up a pot of Serpells Williamette, a thornless Raspberry advertised as new at a different vendor, I suspect that I may have two pots of this variety. We also grabbed a yellow raspberry, called Yarra Valley Gold from this second vendor, plus a different native daisy and the daughter took a fancy to a Cuphea.
If anyone has further information on the Serpells Williamette Raspberry, it would be appreciated.

Re: The Garden of Woz...
Tomato and Pepper clean up day today, 120mm/the 4.8 inches of rain we have had this month has loosened the ground up beautifully for the grip and rip session. No need to dig a plant or chop them off, they cam out roots and all very easily. Made me realize just how far the cooch and Kikuyu had travelled under the tomatoes and peppers, a bit of fork work will see this removed and thrown onto the drive to die, the rest of the weeds will hit the compost bins, then rotary hoe, add mature compost, re-rotary hoe and plant garlic, which will be a bit late but could not do anything about it with the dry Feb/March we have had.
