   Hi Liz, I live in Melbourne and I just found your website this morning. What a treasure. Thank you for your generosity in sharing local growing info, which is exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely love all your photo’s, trials & triumphs. I will be referencing your website often into the future I suspect. Again a huge thank you for helping me get growing! & happy harvesting to you, Robyn.

   Hi Liz,
   I too have just discovered your blog. I’m not above pinching all your great ideas for my own garden, and the new one I have just started through Landshare. For those who might be keen gardeners with limited space, or them that gots space and no green thumb, the landshare website is a great place for people to meet and share a garden.
   As for tomatoes, I can suggest ‘tommy toes’, the little yellow pear ones you’ve already mentioned, and there’s another one I think is called something like ‘summer jewels’. They’re all smaller varieties with thin skin, prolific fruiting and delicious taste. Fantastic for salads and grazing while you’re wandering through your patch.
   All the best for the season, and continued success for your veggies and your blog.
   Keep it up!
   Alex

     Hi Alex, Thanks for visiting. I’m growing some Tommy Toes and am anxiously awaiting the first ripe one. Good luck with your garden and I will be sure to check out landshare – thanks for the tip.

   Hi Liz, I’ve just discovered your website and love it. Am going to try your method of eliminating gall wasps, but was wondering if you can offer any advice on other pests. We have a mandarin tree that has 12-15 mandarins on it. Last week we discovered that one mando was half eaten (probably rats) so we put a net over the tree and tied it tight around the base. This week another piece of fruit has gone. Do you have any methods of keep rats away from food crops? We’ve just planted a large vegie bed and are worried about how we will keep rodents away from our crop. Cheers. Ann

     Thankyou for reading! I hope the wasp method works – this is my first time of trying it so it is a bit experimental but hopefully it gets rid of enough of them that the trees are OK. Regarding rats, unfortunately the short answer to your question is no. We too have rats at the moment. We can’t bait because we have a two year old who would no doubt find it. We tried traps but thus far they haven’t taken the bait so to speak. Fortunately at the moment they must have a few food sources as aside from digging in the compost bin they don’t seem to be taking much but we have lost things in the past. It is frustrating. You could try chilli spray to see if that keeps them off.

   G’day Liz,
   Just discovered your blog and whilst you call yourself “Suburban Tomato” there is definitely a lot more for keen backyard gardeners to read here. If you don’t mind I have added your blog as a link on my own with a little story attached to encourage more visits here. I hope my words have given you justice. Will comment here from time to time.

   Regards, Steve
