Tamarillo tree
My tamarillo tree isn't doing so well since I put it in the ground at the end of last winter. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Read more…I've only recently tried growing cassava and would be interested in others' experience with this interesting plant. It seems to grow really easily and produces a tasty and easily harvested root. You can also cut up the stalk of the mature plant to get 10 or 20 new plants. Apparently the leaf is edible too, and is extemely high in protein. Are there any recipes for cassava out there?
Read more…I'm in a project group looking at making a calendar that shows information on when to plant and harvest certain plants, tailored for the Blackall Range. It might also have some bushfood info or even seasonal indicators from the local Aboriginal people's lore. If anyone has some information would could be useful for such a project, please post it here!

Crush several cloves of garlic and mix with 2 tablespoons of paraffin oil.
Leave to stand overnight. In a separate container, mix half a litre of water with flakes of soft soap.
Strain the garlic and paraffin oil into this soapy water through a piece of cheesecloth.
This is a fairly strong concoction, so it can be diluted with water. Put the mixture into a mist spray and keep those aphis at bay.
