The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

Our 'Kimber' variety is a prolific cropper and self-fertile, which makes it ideal for early spring when the bees are not active. Last two weeks for this variety. A great range of other varieties coming on for later this month.
The first heirloom tomatoes are just a week away, again, for greenhouse or veggie pod planting only at this stage. The ground needs to warm up a lot more before we would recommend planting outdoors.
Also celery, silverbeet, broadbeans and beetroot this week. More spring favourites in the pipeline for coming weeks.
In the flower line, we have potted daffodil, carnations and freesias just coming into bloom.
Look for our stall midway along Park Avenue. Just hoping the weather is going to be kinder than forecast!
