What's going on in your garden (2018-2022)?

Just unwrapped my seeds after another frosty night. Still nothing from the cucumbers. May just have to sew them again.

Funny you mention this, 6 cucumbers up a few days ago. Looking healthy.

They are fine outside after the risk of frost has passed, same as courgettes.

No, not in Australia. I had enough problems in the south of the UK in summer with it getting too hot in the greenhouse and scorching plants. I would have to resort to removing panes out glass too increase ventilation and using both the white shading paint and various trees for shading. I decided that here, whilst it would be useful some of the times, with temperatures if 42°C and routinely over 35°C in summer ,a greenhouse was unnecessary. It would be useful on later winter and early spring, late Autumn to extend the season but also be a major snake risk as well... I'm managing as is, she says remembering she needs to cover the seeds over again...

Had to do a whole load of potting on today. Loads of things just not yet frosty hardy. Need a few more weeks, but I reckon I should be able to start planting out later this week.

Wife must have planted from plants, I never propagated them. I'll get a pic if it stops raining. I was surprised when she told me.
