02.01.2022 The Lilypad was launched (finally!) on July 1 and we already have 4 bookings and our first 5-star review! Thankyou everyone who has made it happen! Leanne Rosie Talia Ella Eddie Martin Laura Sarah Ellie Chris Mick Billie Clemont and the Anglesea Tip Shop (for materials!) So to all our friends and acquaintances come on down for a very relaxing break.

01.01.2022 It’s finally tomato planting time! Yes they could have gone in a bit earlier given the soil temperature has been warm enough for a while, but these girls have been growing on in the hothouse for quite a while and are pretty advanced. Thankfully we have also missed the 43 degree scorcher that cooked our entire plum crop. Also feeling that it may be a late planting season.. the Christmas Lilys are usually flowering on the day but are just coming out now. Our technique for p...lanting tomatoes is to dig the very deep into the soil so they have access to the cool and most importantly consistently moist soil deep down. This avoids risk of blossom end rot disease that can be a problem for larger tomato varieties in our sandy soil. This photo shows how deep they are and the nice big watering bowl it leaves. See more
