Must be great to live somewhere where you can grow veggies without them getting fried by the sun even with shade cloth over them or killed off by frost and hail in winter.
You guys are making me jealous :/

AB you could solarise your beds if you don't want to chemically weed....
the video gives the basis of it.
I've solarized beds with dark plastic straight over the regrowth of weeds after wipper snipping for a couple of weeks.... then removed the plastic in the full sun heat of the day.... and that works fir me. In the video they use clear plastic and half a year lol.
The beauty is that the work is minimal for a great result on veggie garden beds

The corn....
it's growin strong n healthy
cept'n for this metre(roughly) section(closest bit)
this is where I spread mulched up grevillia leaves a while ago.... you can see that the need for nitrogen in the process to break down the grevillea leaves in the soil has a marked effect on the growth of the corn in that spot, by way of less available nitrogen for uptake by the corn plants.
the cauliflowers
definetly caulie's. ... I've spread out the plants since
powering shallots
baby maccadamias... just in thyme
and curry plant in profusion
(just the one plant... a transplant too)
tomatoe taking to the fence
the one in the crows nest spot is powering
birds eyes are hot :fire:
And this plant.... the daughter always said the fairies live there.
I don't know its name though.

Hi folks,
Here is a few photos of the green things Carol has growing over here. There is some other stuff not shown like pumpkins, passionfruit, grapes, herbs, citrus trees, mangoes, chillies that the owners planted a year ago.
The garden beds.
Corn and strawberries plus fennel.
Zucchinis, mung bean, and sweet potatoes.
Capsicums.
Dwarf beans and beetroot.
Tomatoes and Chinese Cabbage.
Cheers
Doug and Carol

I remember the 1st time i ever ate a Jalapeno. Ever tried to find a toilet in Brisbane at 2300hrs. Joisus -NOT FUNNY!!!
Received 300 genetic champion paw paw seeds from America ( asimina triloba ) not papaya. Had to pay extra for quarantining. Wrong end of the year to sprout them but hopefully will get them to germinate before full on winter and will move them inside. They send down a long tap root so have put a lot of them into upside down 1.5lt water bottles which are nice and tall.
I am showing my age. This sort of stuff excites me now layful:
