My set up is still in the works.....I'll be planting most of my plant in the ground this weekend. Between the garden and pots i'll have about 40 plants, with no more than 2 plants per variety.

I went around today & neemed & fed foliate to the green stalks & yellow leaves I like to call my garden. First watering since about March.
Killed my 2nd brushcutter this year & still havent reached the back yard where neighbours decided to put in a new fence & took 3 months to do it. Theres a thistle out there taller than me.

Going to be an interesting season.

I think having a plant in dirt qualifies

Your in Qld !!? I thought that would be to hot ?
Are you going to mulch it out ?

JungleRain · Sep 23, 2009

Loookin realy goooood Stillmanz fantastic garden, is there any type of plant your looking for that you don't have yet?

stillmanz · Sep 23, 2009

chilliman it normally would be too hot. But patch only gets full sun to Midday, plants are packed in tight so Spread will cover and shade alot soon. But as gets hotter we will mulch heavier if it becomes a problem.
JR I got all the plants I need at present Mainly concentrating on these Fatalii and some of the Trini Superhots.

Nice work there stillz, my "farm" is around 75 plants in containers (only about half have been re-potted from styro cups). For a second growing season it's plenty to keep me busy. I will add pics as the plants get bigger as they are still only babies!
