Hi Scatty we were staying at the Alluna Motel.......nice place and very clean moved to Tenterfield on the Sunday.......always stay at the Golf Course there..........lovely and clean and the restaurant attached to Club does top notch meals........
The community garden sounds wonderful are there room for any fruit trees etc..........some do grow super well in large pots:
Me too! - the Alluna was great! I was there on the Friday night.
We can both now recommend a reasonably priced, comfy place to stay in Armidale!
Sounds silly, but its lovely to know that someone else from this thread enjoyed the same surroundings as I did!
The community garden has one fantastic lemon tree (we are all presently taking lemons from it! in abundance!) and the chilli plant has donated multiple chillis to the local chilli sauce maker, but the other trees are not doing well! (I think we need lessons in how to grow citrus fruit!)
The lettuces, bok choy, spinach are about to grace the tables of all 4 households - they are growing so fast - but we have broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower which are also going well, but take more time!
I am thinking of proposing that we grow nothing but lettuce and bok choy! LOL - just because I love to see them grow so fast! Oh impatient me!
No, really, the community garden is an absolute joy. There's not enough land to do any real fruit tree growing (it's only my back yard!), but hopefully the lemon, orange and mandarin trees will flourish with a little extra care and knowledge.
Next challenge is some climbing peas, snow peas, and passion fruit - we're building a trellis on the fence next weekend.
Hello everyone - getting so carried away with the garden I nearly forgot to say hi! - jvh, miss, pj, purps, zaide, beanie, kezza, bella princess (special thoughts for you troubles with centrelink!)
