Whoa, 12 inch spacing is gonna get very tight with Habs. Couldn't tell they were that close from the pic. Good luck.

The east coast has been warmer than normal this winter, even Sydney cracked 20 degrees a week or two ago.

We've had frost in Melbourne, and I left all my plants out this year just to see what happens. So far, I think I may have lost about 2 or 3 to frost, but the rest seem to be humming along.

Great job Mick !
How deep have you till the soil underneath ? Did you use manures and additives ?

stillmanz · Jul 27, 2009

the beds are abound 30 centremetres raised and tilled another 30 cm deep.
12 inch yes Tighter the better I'm . If it proves a problem I will spread to 45 cm next season.
the soil has manure and mushroom compost added.

I don't get frosts
I don't really get temps under 10 degrees celcius at the peak of winter.

Geez you Brisbanians get it lucky. Think we had about 15 Deg.C all day recently and got some frosts to look forward too soon

.

Good luck with the jungle and keep the piccies coming.

Excellent to see. A greenhouse and you guys will be all year rounders.

Hope you guys have a great season

man you will have a load of peppers to sell. That mushroom mix just kicks everything in high gear, I planted my 7 pot plant in some and right now since april it has grown 2 ft higher. It was 3 ft and leggy but now it is 5 ft and bushy. HAVE FUN MY FRIEND :onfire:
