I am also going to experiment a little with seeds that should have been sown last month going in this month, our heat appears to be staying a little longer each year....will make for an interesting trial!
Locally there is an ant invasion! Bloody things are everywhere, from the usual ants one gets in the garden to the coastal ants in some houses.
Here we are suffering from the meat ants. There is something in the cocos palm tree they are crazy about and there are a million of the buggers crossing the paths to get to it....makes for an interesting eaves dropping early morning....... you can hear the odd expletive escape when I am bitten whilst trying to water or walk out to the car on the way to work!
There is no doubt in my mind now that growing our vegies in full sun in this area is a thing of the past! Nothing wants to thrive unless it is under shadecloth. Certainly very different to when I was a child.
Harvesting is still going on, carrots, tomatoes, herbs, and fruits. I've tried replanting the lettuce, this time in full shade, the last lot fried of course!
In terms of the latest news Gav sent this LINK: Our ever brilliant WA Pollies and their approval of transgenic food production. (Throw in a thousand expletives and other curses)......
As fast as we work to preserve our planet and its diversity, these cretins are destroying it!
Notice that ever present company name on the article???? Always near any control of seed.
What was that old quote by Henry Kissinger? "Control the food and you control the masses", not far from the truth and not far from succeeding from all observation to date!

Sad to hear your pollies got bluffed like ours did. I thought you guys had a better chance than we did because I heard you had some export contracts that rely on your GE free status.
Another sad day in Aussie food security just when some other countries are seriously looking at the damage these crops are doing.

I swear Belinda, that lot don't have a brain between them, life appears to be some instant gratification quest where long term outcomes don't matter!
You couldn't be more right about the days of growing veges in full sun in summer is over. One of my Dad's Bowls buddies said he won't grow anything in summer anymore because it's too hot.
As for your idiot politicans, they have brains that have been trained to respond only to the almighty Dollar. I'm beginning to think of them as the political version of the Stepford Wife, programmed to behave a certain way.
I wonder if there are any undiscovered islands that we can all move to and claim as our own, free from blood sucking corporations and political morons.
LOL Nevyn, lets send them to the island instead, perhaps then they would develop an appreciation for the more inportant things in life!
