I have to start this page with an apology to Edna Walling. Remarkably enough, having done a very quick search, no one else appears to have lifted the title of her iconic book, A Gardener's Log. Any way it is my intention to post thoughts on gardening with flowers and vegetables and the garden industry generally. I don't claim to be a gardener like Edna Walling or like most of the people I hope will read this, but I can give a grower's perspective to any gardening questions you might have.

220 Days later, Broccoli Purple Sprouting
Wonder of Wonders. After 220 days (but who's counting?) Broccoli Purple Sprouting florets. If you missed last week's enquiry about Purple Sprouting Broccoli you can review it here.
The growth habit and floret style are obviously quite different to a regular Broccoli. I won't relax completely until I see a little more colour in those heads.
Pelargonium Solstice Purple.
We have seen a significant change in potted colour availability this week; the Argyranthemum, Osteospermum and Bracteantha have all sold. By the skin of our teeth we have rolled into the next crops in our program: Pelargonium and Calibrachoa. Keep it bright, keep it fresh.
