  Basil Sweet 60mm tube stock LAST BATCH UNTIL SPRING 2021

  $1.99
  Ocimum Basilicum or commonly know as Sweet basil is a popular herb with bright green strongly aromatic foliage with a distinctive flavour, used commonly for culinary purposes, in salads, soups, pasta dishes, tomato, egg and cheese dishes. Basil can also be used for companion planting amongst Tomatoes as the grow. Basil Prefers a position which is sheltered from frost, which is why i never normally offer it for sale until at least late October until March ( unless sold out), unlike other stores, who just sell it for the sake of taking your money and couldnt care less if it grows for you... the more you kill the more you will buy is their attitude... we dont share this attitude, we want gardeners to have success and confidence in everything the buy and grow from us, including our knowledge on our locality here in the Dandeong Ranges and when the best time to plant it out is  ......  i believe,  that people who keep killing products or not having success, generally will give up trying and thats not good for my business.... these warehouses and hardware stores posing as nurseries dont care, they will just move on to the next seasons profit maker !!...                now back to basil Basil will grow up to 45cms tall by 40cms wide in moist to well drained soils.... keep the soil moist  ( not sogging wet) during the drier warmer months, allow plenty of airflow around them, tip prune when young to encourage bushy growth, most importantly have them in full sun to partial shade ( not heavy shade or full shade) and protect them frosts  and from slugs and snails..... Little tip about Slugs and Snails   if you love your delicates in the garden, then it is a good time to stock up on some full strength beer !!... use a saucer of full strength beer instead of bait or poisons around your edibles, the yeast in the beer will attract the snails and slugs ( and cockroaches, slaters and earwigs ive found), they cannot process the alcohol, so they drink it, get merry, have a party and never wake up, and at least if other animals eat them afterwards, they wont be poisoned either..... dont be a tightarse and use light beer, because its cheaper, if you are one of those types and you are going to waste time, might as well put some music on and make the bugs some snacks as well so they can really enjoy trashing your garden.

  Tomato Apollo Improved tube stock.. OUT OF STOCK UNTIL SPRING 2021

  Sale! $2.39 $1.50
  Apollo Improved is one of the most popular and common of Tomatoes planted every year. Apollo is an easy to grow variety and heavy cropping producing loads of medium  fruit per plant. Apollo can gow to 1.5 metres tall if happy and  is excellent for salads and sandwiches, hot dishes, roasted, on the barbie, soups, preserving and sauces. Tomatoes grow well in Full Sun, in moist, well drained soils with plenty of air flow around the base. I always prepare the soil before planting with compost, agriboost, some seaweed solution and then some sugar cane mulch. The last thing i do is plant the tomatoes and then stake them. Once they have reached a certain height, i will give them a feed with some potash to encourage lots of flowers ( which become fruit), but I DON'T regularly feed them throughout their growth, as you will just encourage too much foliage growth, there should have been enough nutrient in the soil when you prepared it to get them going and the potash just finishes them.  The only exception is, if we have some bizarre weather, or you didn't put enough nutrient in to begin with and the tomato foliage goes a little yellow, then they are hungry and need a feed with some seaweed solution. Plant your tomatoes a little deeper than their current height after purchase, then once they grow up to about 40cms, prune away any of the bottom 10cms of foliage to allow air flow around the base and a good spot for companion planting basil, marigolds, nasturtiums and other pest  insect repellants. Stake your tomatoes with a simple teepee of 3 good sized hardwood stakes pushed into ground on an angle around the tomato and then tie the 3 tops together to form a teepee and as the tomato grows up, attach it to the teepee for support. We will endeavor to have more Tomato Varieties available soon.... 2020 has been a tough year to get the seed supply we require and demand has been crazy high.... we love it and love you interest in gardening from home, but please bear with us, we are working as hard as we can to make sure there is plenty for everybody.
