How my veggies are coping through this cold snap

[Gpx5000]

My lettuce seem to be suffering in the current climate swings we are encountering he in SW WA.
How's people's veggies coping across the country?

Haha let's see if this thread gets closed too :lol: :lol:

Seems every thread about the weather gets shut down, the mods need to chill out rather than getting hot under the collar....Haha no pun intended :lol:

Climate change?? has slowed mine down a bit.
But I'm hopeful....

Don't mention those words, I don't want them thinking it's something it's not :lol:

yeah im hearing ya GPX5000
this is probably the 3rd mild summer in a row we've had in the S/West.
The Chilli's are growing, but slowly. Just not hot enough weather for long enough for them. Ironic hey! :cloudy:

It's caused havoc with my potatoes....I had a bag go off in the cupboard and geez they stunk!

Well well,if I had put this up,the parrots would have been calling for it to be closed down,lock it.
Well the story here in around Ballarat it has been cool summer,the wheat are standing,to cool to head.
In our garden the pumpkins I would say are a dead loss will not produce anything,the tomatoes are not that large and will be a way off,peas and beans are OK.
We have nights and mornings that have gone to as low as 8c in January,the people next to us rent their place for weekends,to people.Last night he told us some people who rented it requested if they could light the fire,is this summer.
We have a lot deciduous trees,they are now starting to colour,and it is not from lack of water!

Have pumped a little pond out twice in the last weeks, want to scrap it out but now,will have to do it agaiin.
A friend of my brother in law,has been trying to harvest his barley,but just too damp.
Went to Melbourne today,very green around the north of it,which at this time of the year is crispy dry.

Strange year down south. May even be able to cut another round of hay here in a few weeks. Tanks are full. Has been a bit like December and January got mixed up and bum about.

 

[thedigger]

26mm rain over night and 10.4c this morning,and tonight down to 10.8 at the moment.

Our tomatoes are not good,planted in early November,very small.

We grew 70 kilos pumpkins last year in this spot,and we fertilzed again,with manure,but they will amount to nothing.

We need a good burst of warm weather.

when the cold hits, throw some black plastic over your veg plants over night.
