Anyone at Gardening Australia Live today?
We enjoyed our day out.
Talked to some permaculture nuts, rainwater tank installers, heard John Patrick talk about garden design, bought a few little things. DS enjoyed the Bananas act. Met a few friends, and enjoyed hearing bits of other people's conversations: "permaculture...euphorbias...conservation...Melale uca nodosa..." Hey, I feel at home here! Disappointing bits: very little on native gardens. Plants mostly at "show" prices. Some wally trying to sell peonies. Didn't think much of the demonstration gardens (in general). And did anyone else see Cheryl Maddocks' column in the Sydney Morning Herald today? Half on peas (bit late for Sydney!) and the other half anti-GMO. Pity we haven't succeeded in keeping the frankenfood out, but great to see the concern in the gardening community. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "...children should continue to be breastfed... for up to two years of age or beyond." -- Innocenti Declaration, Florence, 1 August 1990 |
