The soil IS great Arlene and only cost $20 cu metre plus cartage. Had to pull down some of the fencing to gain access and dig out a fence stainer post by hand! That post went almost to China !
Thanks Arlene for your comment on the carnations.You may have noticed how I supposedly cleverly positioned the picture of the onion head with carnations directly behind to distract you from the background iron fence that definitely needs attention.
Those carnations are all seedlings,the type is known as English border carnations, not pinks, not sims and not annual types.I've been breeding them for quite a few years, one goal being scent in a perpetual flowering plant. Oops--don't want to hijack my own thread ..too early.Somebody should start a thread on carnations.
