I carried a tomato plant for Deb, it sat on my bike for 30mins, suffering from cold and wind, and it looked quite bad after the journey.<BR/><BR/>Maggie: Thanks for the messages. I went to a weaving workshop last Sunday at a community garden in Henley Beach. This was the first basket I made and I love it^^ I'm sure I'll learn more from Deb.:)<BR/>Grow well!Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316998564612256663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-72061654537715299242008-08-15T07:32:00.000+09:302008-08-15T07:32:00.000+09:30Tomatoes, I remember from our meeting last summer ...Tomatoes, I remember from our meeting last summer people have lots of ideas about tomatoes.<BR/>Des who grows the delicious variety keeps the seedlings inside at night and then plants out on the October long weekend or early October.<BR/>Someone in our group planted the seedlings out earlier last year, there was a warm spell in September and the plants got well established and grew really well and they had heaps of tomatoes.<BR/>Good luck with all you have planted.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155210756905386478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-29965199435294851582008-08-14T08:17:00.000+09:302008-08-14T08:17:00.000+09:30Ting we are so glad you joined our group.

I'll need to check into it and save my rebellion for another day.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600623268334520227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-10939415106644038382008-08-13T23:21:00.000+09:302008-08-13T23:21:00.000+09:30Ting, thank you so much for your post.

I have my junky 'basket bike' which has friends telling me I look like a bag lady (homeless women who carry all their belongings with them in a couple of shopping bags and collect cans and bottles for the return money). I need to find a source for longbikes or start importing them myself. I had never heard of them. A longbike would have solved my three toddlers/one bike dilemma a few years ago. I think the market is ripe here. They would probably be declared unsafe in the US, tantamount to child abuse and endangerment! Sensible doesn't always float here, but going down to Kate's post, I think I must rebel so we can all move forward.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600623268334520227noreply@blogger.com
