For those in Toowoomba or if you are looking for an excuse to come to the Garden City I will be at the Toowoomba Farmers Market (TFM) this Saturday beside Cobb & Co, Lindsay Street. The big news is TFM is moving to the Waltons Precinct in Annand Street. The markets will be weekly from the first of April from 7-11am. Costa the gardening guru will be there!
