April - Garlic planting time. 440 cloves planted and all are up and looking happy, this year we are trying Elephant (Russian) Garlic although not a true garlic it still has mild garlic/ onion flavour with much bigger cloves.
Our fingers and toes are crossed for a great season.
Our Avocado tree is loving life in the shade tent, fussy little buggers these trees can be! Too windy - dies, too dry - dies, too cold - dies, look at it sideways - dies!! We must be doing something right tho as it’s doubled in size recently.
Tasmania Pepperberry Tree - so excited to add this beauty to the orchard. Even more excited to use the leaves in cooking. Needing to find a female tree so we can harvest the actual pepper berries ( finding this a little tricky at the moment but I won’t give up).
