This is all very exciting!!! So, the jars of blossoms act like mini trees for cross pollination? That's a groovy tip! I wonder - just a thought - what if you put some big aloe leaves in the holes where you plant the trees as a kind of slow release hugelculture water system? I know they do that with the nopal cactus in some parts of the world....
Lol. Funny story. My English husband, new to Australia, never knew what he might find in the back yard. Emptying out the bird bath in the native grass patch, he found a pile of - what are these!! are they snake eggs?!!!! - no, honey, they are ordinary eggs. Laughed for about three weeks. We now call eggs 'sneggs' - snake eggs. Oh my giddy aunt.
Glad to see lots of exciting things happening in your garden!
That is hilarious!
Thank you for the tip. I'm going to try it. If it works it would be feeding all sorts of minerals into the trees as well.
