I'd forgotten some of the plants he mentioned in my garden planning. I used to have Curry plants, nasturtiums, thyme, rosemary in my last home. Love the idea of a row of curry plants and a thyme border is a great idea. Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 29Mar 19, 2010 9:43 am Mmm, curry leaves....thanks for the reminder! Must track a plant down. The grey-leaved ones usually for sale in nurseries here are the wrong kind entirely - we use the smooth green-leaved ones in Sri Lankan dishes. Another plant to add to my ever-growing list! Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 30Mar 19, 2010 10:10 am Great show, thanks for putting us on to it Fu! And I agree, would be better if it went for an hour. Really keen to see the outcome of the racetrack backyard! Some people don't have time to do the job right the first time, but seem to have plenty of time to fix their mistakes.

I mean when those kids turned around in their garden and saw him, the small one look scared. It looks like palm pot liners with a mouth. Great show though!! Never miss it! Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 33Mar 19, 2010 6:22 pm kek you are looking for the very close relative to Murraya paniculata, Murraya koenegii Should find it ok and I would have to say you could grow it in Melbourne with occasional frost damage but it wouldn't harm it Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 34Mar 19, 2010 6:25 pm Guys the show can't go for one hour long. The reason being that the size of Costas beard tiers him out. He has to do 30mins or it's just to much for his head and neck Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 35Mar 19, 2010 7:00 pm kek Mmm, curry leaves....thanks for the reminder! Must track a plant down.

Hey Kek i saw this on gardening oz the other week about the curry murraya, looked very weedy; http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s2816576.htm Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 36Mar 19, 2010 8:07 pm They make good hedges, the full botanical name is above Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 37Mar 19, 2010 9:00 pm hubby said no to a front garden veggie display(however my theory is) , "What he doesn't know won't hurt him." loved those purple snow peas. Are they always purple or was it a specific variety? My dad always loved sweat pea flowers and I'm the same but these had pretty red flowers and edible pea pods instead of the poisonous sweat pea ones.A bonus in my book. My dad passed away 6 years ago this year. he spent ages trying to get sweet peas to grow at his house and they finally flowered when he died. of course we dropped sweet pea flowers into his grave. Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 38Mar 19, 2010 9:20 pm Folks if you loved the show have a listen to this. It is about 40 mins but the chap speaking is a world authority Please have a listen maybe save it and listen in the car off the ipod or on the bus to work Very related to what Costa is and does Maybe pop the kettle on. They are wise words Click the link, then click the mp3 in the link The Great Monty Don http://92.52.112.178/web/sa/saweb.nsf/a ... enDocument and this one http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2010/ ... 839315.htm Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 39May 05, 2010 3:15 pm I'm sorry but last Thursday nights Costas was great but that farmer with the roadkill pit was the worst!! I can't stop thinking about it!! Dead snake on top cow guts and dead rabbits. It was awful. Imagine the smell!! I know the "juice' would be great for the garden but really. A dead animal stew in the back yard!! No thanks!! Re: Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS 40May 05, 2010 3:39 pm I thought the roadkill tank was awesome. Get some powerful liquor off that. Dont know how you go about collecting roadkill though, I have a 150km journey home to and from work every Mon morning and Friday night, just chuck the dead roos in the boot I suppose and get them out when I get home. Any body want to buy a roadkill car ? Fig Landscapes has produced an e-book and native plant index, available for purchase from their website. It's a great resource, full of inspiration and tips.
