Planted 10 egg cartons with San Marzano tomato seeds.

10 x 12 x 2 = 240 seeds (more like 300 seeds in reality.)

Filled the cartons with seed raising mix, poured water + Maxicrop over the mix, added the seeds, covered thinly with more seed raising mix then covered all with a thick wet cloth, poured more water over the cloth.

That wasn稚 all: I filled a shallow bowl with water and added five quandong stones. They will soak until tomorrow afternoon then get planted in peat pots.

Hmmmmmm uh oh!

Bloody wallabies will eat the tomato plants, damn them! So wire netting will be needed.

According to some quick googling, they hate lavender so I will gets lots of lavender seedlings!

Neighbor on the corner plants corn each year, they seem to leave that alone.


Hmmmmm
