Hi Rob, Good to get your email. We have to wait for seeds to be sent to us in the new season. We would probably announce on air that we have seeds, just send me an email and I will send you some when this happens. Regards Tony

Hi Tony , I have just opened your page & am surprised to see the message I sent to you last year regarding the non receipt of tomato seeds (& non reply) Will there be any seeds this season? I would be happy to send another stamped envelope Regards Graeme

Re: Eliminate codlin moth in apple trees At what stage do you hang the bottles with this solution in the apple trees? We have two apple trees in our backyard and this year they are riddled with codlin moth even though we put the trap out and sprayed (perhaps too late??). Thanks, Angela

Hi Tony About 6 weeks ago I sent a stamped addressed envelope for a couple of Tomato seeds & as of today they haven't arrived I am in Levin &I think it is probably too late now for this season! If you get any next year could you please send me a couple ? Regards Graeme
