I didn't even know we had one until last year and it has been sitting down the back for many, many years. The CEO must have planted it at some stage as friends used to give him lots of plants years ago when he was more active in the garden. I was working so didn't take any notice of what was growing down there.

I love the idea of the Great Fertilizer Factory but I don't have access to nettles. I guess comfrey on its own would do thought. I'm a bit of a fan of Costa, I have a photo taken with him at Nambour Garden Expo a couple of years ago, my brush with fame!!Hutchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616616897824859112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-31490722380579227982015-10-02T10:18:39.202+10:002015-10-02T10:18:39.202+10:00Hmmm...you've got me thinking now.

Watering will become a big job soon. It is warming up here over the weekend, but it has been glorious so I can't complain. <br />Also daylight savings starting is good for me, I get lots of gar ending done in the evenings. xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-61368253202709943872015-10-01T22:31:37.077+10:002015-10-01T22:31:37.077+10:00Wow, what a strange tree!

A lot of it does drop to the ground after a while so you only have a small window of opportunity to pick the fruit before it drops.

You do that in a very refined way of course ;-) It has a very unusual exotic taste and from memory it is quite sweet. It is definitely worth trying.
