Richard Grevers commented on Denise's group What To Do Today?"Back in January - much more growth since then. The taller plants on the right had a handful of milk powder beneath the roots, and are now about 2.4m tall with about 6 main stems each."
Richard Grevers commented on Denise's group What To Do Today?"While we've been harvesting the odd yellow cherry type for a while, our red ones are just starting to colour up. I can certainly vouch for the planting method Cally described. It also gives you a root area which isn't obscured by plant if…"
