Re: Gardening Australia ABC TV 6/2/10
I think Ill pull out all our olive trees and plant coffee trees instead. Reckon Ive got room for about twenty. Talk about fresh coffee in the morning! How soon after picking can you roast the beans?Originally posted by 64616B0E0 link=1265448179/0#0 date=1265448179Segment on growing and looking after a coffee tree.

Re: Gardening Australia ABC TV 6/2/10
Just wondering if you saw the segment DrDregs? I ask because Jerry (the guy who did the report) spoke about the trees having potential to be quite a weed. That is, the seeds germinate very easily. Depending on where you live you might just have those 20 quicker than you thought!Originally posted by 0F061506110011060E02630 link=1265448179/2#2 date=1265449668I think Ill pull out all our olive trees and plant coffee trees instead.

For those who missed it, it on Iview and with certain ISPs that means free streaming. It only stays active for 2 weeks however.
I finally got time to watch, the episode and noticed it was for next week.

I did see the episode. We have over 3 acres of native and exotic gardens and a comprehensive weed management program - we pull em out...or just harvest the germinatesOriginally posted by 5E5A5D5C350 link=1265448179/3#3 date=1265453541Just wondering if you saw the segment DrDregs?

Re: Gardening Australia ABC TV 6/2/10
Oh, lovely. I like the sound of your weed management program - it includes the vital "we". The weed management program here only seems to include the word "I", being me! Enjoy and good luck!Originally posted by 262F3C2F3829382F272B4A0 link=1265448179/6#6 date=1265535926I did see the episode.

Re: Gardening Australia ABC TV 6/2/10
Thanks - LOL Ive been sprung. My better half says "What do you mean we? You point and I pull". Definately going to plant some coffee trees though. Will read up and hopefully have a mini plantation going by next year - ouch!Originally posted by 282C2B2A430 link=1265448179/7#7 date=1265538356Oh, lovely.

Re: Gardening Australia ABC TV 6/2/10
Or at least a run down of the best practice for spraying Round-up... that stuff tastes terrible!Originally posted by 626E6B7F666A7D7D6A3F390F0 link=1265448179/9#9 date=1265561372Was a little disappointed in the segment...I had thought it may have included a little more than a practical demonstartion on how to pull out a weed.

Noticed the only cherries that I could see on the tree looked a little black.Originally posted by 143B32302718343B34323038303B21550 link=1265448179/11#11 date=1265892544http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/program/507092
