Can you believe how great this looks. We went up to Silkie Gardens Nursery and Cafe up at Kilmore where we get all our Roses form Diana and Graham and they have started selling pots for us. They came up with the idea to pot roses. They look great and Graham says hey will work really well in the self watering pots. Go and get fantastic roses from Kilmore. See Diana and Graham they are the experts.

Weekly Update for Mark & Carolyn and everyone else :)

This week pea seeds and broad beans are good to plant. If you can get corriander it will grow really well. Cauliflower and Broccoli together in one large pot make a great mix together, remember to fill the pot and use the planting guide. Also Betroot x 15 in each large pot would be great. Today we planted 3 roses on one large pot with some tyhme and some pansies also looks great check out the new photo coming soon on the main page. We will also set up a new set in the flicker page. Remember if you plant broccoli and Cauliflowers to go and check for the eggs the white butterflies lay and squash them otherwise you will find your seedlings gone. Happy Growing with us.
