It’s been a big week! The first batch of broilers has been slaughtered and packed, and it’s finally been warm enough to get the tomatoes out in the greenhouse. Egg production is getting going, the new chicks are growing well, salad crops are doing great this year, we’ve released the new peacocks, and in the middle of it all I’m also interviewing amazing farmers for the Farm Like a Hero Experience. Phew!

How are your tomatoes doing – lost in the frost, stuck in the nursery or good in the ground?

Hi Richard,
Thank you for all the informative videos!
I’m trialling growing my tomatoes on string / twine this year for my veggie garden and a client garden. I’m wondering what you use and what have you trialled. I’m keen to use a natural material and curious if you’ve tried any like Hemp.
Thank you,
Melissa
