I have a chilli tree (see photo) that has provided me with a substantial chilli surplus. The chillies are a bell-shaped, red, mild, heritage varietyfrom Vaucluse House in Sydney. They are available to any members who would like some.
I have just bought a copy of Sally Wise’s new book “Out of a Bottle” which has a tomato chilli chutney recipe which will use 20 to 30 chillies.

Hello,
I’m interested in finding seeds to grow Burbank Tomatoes, and I’m having
trouble finding them in Australia. I’ve asked a few places who have
directed me to the Seedsavers Network (specifically this page:
http://www.seedsavers.net/handbook/tomato). So I thought I would contact
you and see if you could offer any assistance finding where I might get
the seeds? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :)
Thank you!
Lyndall.
Hi,
I am trying to locate rock phosphate, but find it difficult to get hold of it. Can you advise where I can get it – in or around Canberra? I have tried Hall, but can’t find it there. There used to be somebody in Fyshwick but he has packed up.
Thanks,
Els

I am trying to buy ‘lemongrass’ seed. I would also like to know if there is such a thing as ‘licorice’ seed?
Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,
I have just dug up my stock of jerusalem artichokes and have many, many, MANY more than I need. If anyone would like some either for eating or planting let me know. I am happy to give them free to a good home but if you have seeds to swap me that would be great. I’m particularly interested in leek varieties and herbs at present.
Also, I’m wondering if anyone knows the variety of spinach (or an equivalent) that we can buy in the shops as baby spinach. I’d like to grow some of my own. I’m happy to swap seeds that I have for a few.
Thanks
Ray
