Online Food Garden Chat June 2020

On Sunday 21 June 2020 the Food Garden Group's second online food garden chat took place. We talked about frost, passion fruit, globe artichokes, avocados, broccoli, garlic, neighbours, timing of sowing and planting, and the influence of temperature.  See below for a summary of the discussions.

Avocados in Tasmania

The popularity of avocados has gone through the roof in Australia in recent years. Tasmanian home gardeners are now buying young avocado trees, but there is not a lot of local knowledge that tells us how to grow them in often-cool Tasmanian conditions.  I tried to find someone who grows avocados successfully locally, in the hope to learn a trick or two.
