77Sunset when you said you had soaked the Cootamundra seed I assume it is the Cootamundra Wattle. Do you poor boiling water over them then leave them soak over night? That is the method I mostly used on all Acacias but if in a hurry to plant I would hold the seed with a pair of tweezers and wipe quickly across a hotplate on the stove. A question for you all. Why a pair of tweezers and not a Tweezer? Since it is a pair what actually is a tweezer?
Re fruit in the Tea Room why not have some there so the ones who eat too much sweet stuff can have a piece of fruit before the cake?
Photo is some new apricots we were testing. Because I don't like wasting good fruit when tasting the new varieties I would eat upto 50 a day. As you can see the birds like to help.
