Hello Penny long time no see mate. We are entering winter here in Australia and I am planting peas at the moment onions are in with some carrots, lettuces and some silver-beat. We had a horrible summer far too much humidity drifting down from the North of the continent and it was the first time I have ever had end spot on my tomatoes in the 30 years of growing here in this location. Anyway; Tomato tips Google youtube fantastic vids on growing tomatoes in your neck of the woods mate. When planting seedlings or growing from seed when growing in one spot in your garden is, make sure you put your stakes in first and the idea of the ice-cream plastic container with the bottom out is a good idea. I use plastic soft drink bottles, the big ones like 2 litre types with the bottom cut off so as to protect the seedlings in winds and early frosts until big enough take the bottle covers off and keep them for another day or dispose of it in the recycling bin. The other is to stop cut-off worms and snails from climbing about and helping themselves to the young seedlings. Green beans bush or climbing ones just plant in the ground and watch out for those pesky birds who will think the new green shoots are little worms and they want to suck them up. Um-mm. Again when dropping the seeds into the ground you can place a plastic bottle over them. Acts as a mini green house effect until the bean plants are hardy. Cucumbers like to climb on trellises too and keeps the fruit off the ground. Peppers are similar to tomatoes to grow. Well Penny happy gardening it is a very rewarding and healthy past time there friend way over the ocean so deep and so wide.
