Jane mentioned in her 'welcome' message.. "but that means plenty of surplus seedlings to give away or trade with other gardeners".

Trading seedlings sounds like a good idea. I currently have a few chilli and paprika seedlings (nothing exotic, I'm afraid) ready for transplanting and I should have some surplus herbs in a couple of weeks (germinated a week ago). Is anyone interested in a trade? I'd be pleased to try more or less anything from flowers to green-leaf vegetables as I'm still fairly new to the island and feel I need 'quantity' at this time to cover some of the the roof space :o)

Yes, that would be great. It might also give me the opportunity to meet the famous L-G :o)

Let me know what the NT has to offer.

Famous? You mean infamous?

There'll be a big Lamma-zine story about the guided gardening tour tomorrow...

As you and I are having rooftop gardens with all their special challenges, we'll need carefully selected plants that can survive even burning sun and a typhoon unprotected.

Hi Denis,
I will have seedlings soon as I've recently planted the first beds in the garden I'm developing in Tai Peng that I hope might turn into a community garden sometime soon. You are welcome to contact me if you're interested in knowing more about it
