If it anything like here mackka nothing,i am p----ing myself :lol: at these hoarders, they have cleaned every vegie seed up,none to be found anywhere, and half the clowns would not know which end of the seed needs to go into the ground first :lol:
 
Those veggies are looking great, I'm keen to get some chilli growing soon. That's if the hoarders have left any seeds by the time I get to the shop.

Chilli seed tends to not last very long. After about a year the germination rate goes right down. So careful if you purchase from the shops.
Happy to share fresh seed if you want some. Only problem is I got my varieties mixed up and apart from some being super hot I don't know what they are.

All the chillie seeds I have purchased from eBay have turned out cross pollinated except for purple ufo and big jims
 
Experienced a mystifying result growing snap peas this year. Two pots, same potting mix, with wire trellis and six seeds in each. One pot of seeds took off (metre high) adding to many green salads over summer. The other pot was a miserable lot produced only a handful of pods?
Real mystery, can not fathom why this happened, maybe a pea grower has some idea?
Beans and garlic are now thriving.

Hey a Silver,
What should I be planting in Brissie now please?

Heya Mackka I've got onions,corn, snowpeas, beans, asian lettuce, normal lettuce (selfsown).... but if you look back over the posts on here for around these dates in other years you'll get a good idea from then too.
Up here you can grow whatever you want really but with shorter and shorter daylight days some things may be shorter in height when they fruit.
like my corn atm won't end up being super high and over loaded with cobs
.... but it'll still be nice and juicy and give me some more seeds for next time too. :p
:Y:

I put corn and asian lettuce in my ginger and tumeric bed.... plenty of room for it all in there just now as there's not much of the latter two yet

Probably a big no no but my peas and beans are in the same spot as last time sorta.... salad onions and shallots on the right.

the bales have been sitting and getting watered on occasion and rained on too since late last year
1584932052_screenshot_2020-03-23-12-36-34.jpg

Posted elsewhere on here tonight by myself.

I personally bought some potting mixes and chook poo today so that I can grow some potted food plants to hand around family and friends.
You will soon find that the hoarders will hit these products without regard to green thumbs at all.... my advice would be to think ahead if you plan to garden like normal and/or intend to supply or teach others any botanical knowledge in a way that could help them learn how to do the same for themselves and purchase the products you know you will need now. It takes time to compost products ready for sale so once the current products get taken the resupply may not be immediate at all (but it will happen over time).
But as we have seen with all other products (ie-toilet paper) once a move has been made to stokpile the likelihood of Mr&MrsX being able to find supply falls to almost nill.
this is what I purchased (a lot for 4 tomato plants I know)lol
