wash your mouth out - Canberra is Australia's best kept secret.

Oh btw, the ABC radio gardening show - a Canberra institution - confirmed 6 weeks till Tomatoes can go in i.e. mid September.

It appears from the volume of talkback calls on the subject that Canberra is not short of tomato growing fanatics.

I take back the bit about somewhere more interesting.

Six weeks? Goodoh. The Stupice will be well and truly ready to transplant by then. In fact, it will be the biggest seedling in the universe.

ya - they had this huge talkback discussion about tomatoes on the gardening show last Saturday and the Saturday before. Seems like if one tomato grower rings up it prompts about another dozen calls - soil types, diseases, varieties - one guy was on about his internet searches on treating a tomato root fungi.....

Seems like the tomato growers are itching for spring, feeling tomato deprived....

You can ring up and tell them you're getting a Stupice (pronouced Stoo-peach-ka). A bit later on you can have an Anna Russian, too. Magnificent pink, heart-shaped tomato. One of my favourites.

That looks a lot like Missoula, Montana, fires and all.
Don't know if they geek out on tomatos there or not. But the fishing is excellent!
Vegetables in general and toms in particular are going ape here this summer, as it's been pretty hot for most of the season.

Frost is the obsession with tomato growers in those areas that suffer it. It murders newly-transplanted seedlings. The American tomato growers in the northern parts actually have an official Last Frost Date - calculated by the local government agency - for their particular areas. Their rule of thumb is to add two weeks to it to be on the safe side. Luckily, frosts are unheard of in this neck of the woods. Mid-winter, and I'm still getting tomatoes from the last crop I planted.

Yes, the highest mountain in Australia has a road going to the top which in summer is an easy walk for children and old people

But we do have mountains, and the Brindabellas are a very pretty backdrop to the city.
