My small fall backyard garden is starting to kick in; all but a few of my squashes and cukes are fine and producing well. Some squashes here get decimated by squash vine borers and cucumber beetles; do you have that probelem there? My tomatoes have come back from a nasty blight disease, and grateful as I am, the plants aren't pretty. I've got corn in tassel and melons and watermelons are just now starting to develop. I'm growing your Jarrahdale pumpkin and it loves my lawn apparently - it's all over the place! It's gorgeous.

I'm also growing perennials that I'll put in my front yard when they're bigger; they're in plant trays that the local honey bees are claiming. I'll be saving seeds of open-pollinated and hybrid seeds on a number of things.

Happy gardening! Maureen

yep all gone to more user friendly forums 1.. ausgarden as mentioned in the other post and also over at 'garden express'.

for me the approach of summer is great, officially we are in spring now, we are still picking our brassicas and silverbeet (chard?), but you are welcome to check our site out and see what we are doing.
