| So wonderful to see different kinds of tommys in the gardening sections, I was surprised to find about six different types in Bunnings so I will give these Moonshot a try, so very welcome for me as I have given up trying to grow them from seed.. I bought a punnet as the Black Russians toms I planted 5-6 weeks ago have lots of fruit on them they are about half size now and looking good.
As do the 232 spring onions that I planted from one punnet the same day I don't think I lost one, so I planted some seed of them last week, got lots of veggies going now and yesterday I planted Red odourless onion seedlings, still looking for a better keeping onion I may have to try growing seeds as they don't seem to have any of those type here in seedlings.. Also planted some Broad Beans I will give them another go just hope they don't get that terrible rust this time also planted seeds of Sugar snap peas first time for them a bit of a change from Snow peas. Anyway I will see how they go ....Cheers..MM. |

| What are you going to do with 232 spring onions, MM? I always grow sugar snap peas as they are so sweet, even the pods. One of my daughters calls them lollies. If you want to eat the pods make sure you pick them before they get too big so they are tender but if you want the pea just let them fill out like an ordinary pea. We (the kids & I) planted out quite a few seedlings the other day that we started from seed a few weeks ago. We planted 3 varieties tomato, silverbeet, lettuce, cucumber, carrots (2 varieties), climbing and dwarf peas. Must get some more seeds going soon and plant a few more beans (oh no the kids say). We have had a bumper crop of snap beans, we spend ages topping and tailing then freezing beans every couple of days. Should have enough to see us through a few months. Good luck with yours. |

| Thanks GH...Well one guess what my most favourite veggie is the onion of course. I eat them every day Spring onions for lunch on the salad sandwich or in fried rice.. The other onions get baked with the pork or beef, fried with some things. With those spring onions I start picking them when they are smaller than shop ones, then the neighbours find out I have them growing so I give some away mind you it does not take long to eat that many say 20 a week that's only 12 weeks so I have to keep them on the go all the time. I have never grown sugar snap peas before, I have just been down to have a look at them and I was amazed at how many were sitting on top of the soil after that deluge of 23 mm earlier but very welcome is that rain I can always plant more tomorrow..Yes I planted a lot of seeds recently and they are up now its great isn't it, and good luck with your veggie garden too and how wonderful to have willing helpers ...Cheers...MM. |

I guess this time of year in the sub-tropics must be like spring - so many things to plant. May your gardens be as bountiful as they will be beautiful. |

| Not sure what 232 spring onions are, but I have spring onions in year round. Just let one or two go to seed and chuck the seeds everywhere. We use them in all sorts of things. I pull the odd one and peel it and munch on it while strolling around the patch. Mix it with a fresh bit of Jalapeno and you have a breath that will send the dog under the house. Great stuff |
