I found something unexpected at my local Bunnings.... seedlings from Diggers Club. There weren't many different varieties of plants but what was there sold out quickly as I found very few left when I went back a second time. With such popularity, hopefully we'll see more Diggers heirloom seedlings cropping up around there. Pun intended.
I bought four different varieties of tomatoes.
The Black Russian
Lemon Drop (Yellow, round tomato)
Green Zebra
Tigerella
They are thriving well, especially the Lemon Drop which has jumped up like a magic beanstalk! Each plant has started flowering already and two of the four have started showing signs of fruit.
For a new gardener who has faced plenty of distressing failures over the last few years having such success is thrilling.
