We should probably keep this thread at the top so people can see it easily.

Singing the praises of January apples

Axel: Searching best apples Santa Cruz, a bunch of your posts came up. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I went to the Nursery to buy a Gala apple bare root, choosing Gala because there is one growing a few doors away from my yard. My former neighbor gave me some of the apples which were very good, better than store bought. But the man at the nursery said the Pink Lady is a much better apple than the Gala. I asked if it would do well in my area of Santa Cruz, which is in Live Oak by the upper harbor by Capitola Road. He assured me that it would. But when I got home I read the tags; they said that Pink Lady is for hot climates, so I wonder if I should take it back tomorrow and get the Gala or another variety. What do You think? Do You know if Pink Lady will ripen well in my neighborhood? Among store-bought organic apples, I like the Pink Lady the best, then the Braeburn, and the Gala third. It would be nice to grow an apple that keeps well and (optionally) could be eaten raw or cooked. I'd probably prefer a later ripening variety than one that ripens in summer when there are still plenty of other fruits available. It's pretty warm where I live, but probably nothing like the summer heat where you live. Aren't you in Grape-growing country in the SC mountains? Which red or reddish apple would develop the best flavor in my area,on a dwarf or semi-dwarf stock, and ripen for sure? I don't even know for sure what chill requirements mean, but it has gone below freezing maybe 10 times in the last couple months, which is probably a bit more than usual. Any advice you give me will be greatly appreciated. The other trees I'd like to plant are a pineapple guava and a Japanese plum. Both have been observed growing in my area, and both make delicious fruit, although no-one knows what varieties they are. Thank-you, I really enjoy your posts. -Gala (like the apple, I always say)

Plant Swap? NE, anyone interested?
Q
Comments (17)
Hey Tameron - this is Jeff out in Mantua - remember me? This is just a thought but the swap could be held out at my place, there is plenty of space to spread out for anyone interested. My only concern would be that I grow and sell plants for a living. It isn't a huge operation, but it may make people think that they have to BUY something from me. They don't! include me in if you can come up with a date to do it - all Saturdays are not good for me because I am at the Farmer's Market at Shaker Square. Let me know! Sincerely, Jeff

Baby Photos 2/2005

Well I feel rather tame with my babies, they are still newborns.... and our web server is playing up so I can't even post piccies. Very annoyed as I took a heaps of photos of the new 4-bed veggie patch complete with snow peas, potatoes, eggplant, chilli and tommies. Capsicums are still foetal - we left them a little later to see if that would help them out. Ground is still a little cold for them I think. I too am joining the green-with-envy club... Mantis I can't believe your tommies are so big already! We have fruit on the Broad Ripple Yellow Currant and the Jaune Flamme. Also in the plot and all with flowers: Cherokee Purple, Kelloggs Breakfast, Roma San Marzano, Principe Borghese, Brandywine Suddeth.

Rutherglen 2006

Just catching up on this thread because Rutherglen is not possible for me, but Victoria isn'nt that far. And the 12th March is my birthday and it might even be spring in Tassie by then, so if novice tomatofreaks are welcome, I'd probably make it! Maybe you should change the title of the thread otherwise other southerners might not catch it. I think Tasmanian Tommies are welcome in Vic? Cheers Linda

Ray,

I will be there so please include me in any circulation of details. I won't be taking up the free accommodation on account of my little boy (14 months old), who still has erratic sleep habits and I don't want to subject anyone else to his disrupted sleep :-)

Look forward to meeting you all in person.

So who's coming to Marysville? Lips and I will be there. We were thinking of heading up on the Friday (taking the day off work) unless there are interstaters coming in on Saturday who are stuck for transport??

We have a decent tent, so we're lawn-camping :-)

I'll be there, staying somewhere or other but not at the cottages. I arrive Friday. I'm meeting Spatz and Co at the airport and we're driving up together, probably pick Adam up on the way through as he'll already be in Victoria.
Maybe the Friday nighters could meet up for dinner. We could just do something at one of the cottages (a barbecue perhaps) or sample a local restaurant. If the latter we should perhaps book, that's if anyone is interested of course.

Ray, that's a good idea. Let me know what you are planning as there a number of restaurants (is that the right spelling?) right up to the Cumberland and Marylands (Tulips) which are excellent but quite expensive.

Crossways an old style recently restored - near the river and eat on the verandah.

Fragas - small, friendly, good atmosphere.

Thyme in the Mountains - recently opened (haven't been there yet) - roomy.
All of the above are reasonable. I can make some bookings during that week if we have an idea of numbers.

(Also, a friend of mine has a very reasonable B & B near the forest if anyone wants alternative accommodation)

I'll be there. Not sure if I'm getting a lift from a friend in Thornbury, I may just meet the others at Lilydale station. There is also a Railway Bus up to marysville. I'll be there Friday for sure though, and I'm pretty sure I'm staying at the Cottages.
