Dear Gardening Friends
Well, the broad beans are finally in - I hope not too late. The pruning has started - the easy bits, black and red currants and nectarine. The green manure is spread on the resting beds. The tomato plants are pulled up and hanging in my sunspace to try to ripen the last fruit. Time to sit in my sunspace and have a cup of tea and watch the world go by!
By the way, I've found a great source of cheap green manure seed - Roberts at the Brooker end of Collins St sell it by the kilo - $2.50 a kilo.
