does anyone know where to get large herb cuttings from? not the pissy little punnets you see at Bunnings
I'm looking for Basil & Rosemary and I want them as big as possible

not too sure? just about every 2nd front yard around here has a massive plant in their front yard, would be easy to get one. Would prefer it to be a semi-grown plant though

why not seedlings BRB?
mine have grown 3x in 3 weeks...3 more and full on pots for harvesting!
rosemary takes longer than basil, but is hardy as fuck...and never dies!

have never been able to grow basil or coriander- needs loamy/ sandy soil

Theers free Rosemary all down the 112 Tram Tracks along St Georges Rd.
Dig deep so you don't get any part of the bushes that drunks have pissed on.

Garlic
Spring Onion
Celery
Carrots
Broccoli
Silver beet
Cauliflower
Turnip
Radicchio (sp?)
Snow Peas
Lemons
Blood Oranges
Zucchini
Chives
Leek
Sage
Rosemary
Thyme
3 kinds of mint
Basil
Fennel
Chilies
Coriander
Bay leaves
Oregano
Chamomile
Will post pics soon too. We're preparing the soil for summer...bring on the tomato's and strawbs and blueberries and cucumbers

would love a proppa vegie garden but have 2 major impediments- space and 2 bunnies who would also love a proppa vegie garden
would be mowed to the ground in minutes
put herbs in planter boxes to avoid this and the snails ate em

Got a solution for you Gnat. Just whack your planters in a bowl with a bit of beer or wine at the bottom (but not so the plant absorbs it). The snails get belligerent and go looking for pizza and hot chicks instead.
