If there are any you want to know the name of please reference a pic and I will let you know. All of these surviving plants have some frost tolerence and are probably able to survive in places like inland Victoria as our weather here is colder than Melbourne or Adelaide but slightly warmer than Hobart and Camberra. Things that I have tried but did not work and died with the cold are Hybiscus, frangipani, jacaranda, bannana and coffee. Natal plumbs did not all die but some did and many where damaged so I have transferred those to pots and will try again when they are bigger.I am currently experimenting potential of various trees to later plant out a orchid in a paddock.I am envious of those of you up north who can grow tropical or subtropical things.
I have lost so many seedlings once re-potted and moved outside. The heat here just fries them, only the strong survive.
If I was to put my plants under shady trees then they are exposed to the relentless Warwick wind, out of the wind = more heat..can't win!

They look very tasty and moist.
Some pics of the patch.
Current patch cropping.
2nd and 3rd crop.
Green bean crops. Interesting the crop in the background has been cropping for over 7 weeks (usually about 4)
this came up and I have no idea what it is, anyone have some suggestions?

Hey Blocker,
Are the flowers (carnations?) Near the corn to keep the bugs away? How effective is it?
Cheers

No, they are marigolds. They are self sown from some I planted years ago. Whenever they come up I just leave them or shift a few around if there are lots.Rockhunter62 said:
They do say they are good at keeping some bugs away. Maybe they do work as there are no bugs on the corn.
Hi rockhunter62, marigolds and a native weed called stinking roger are in the same family, will keep a host of bugs out of the garden,both are very good at keeping nematode's at bay, :Y:
