Pfft. He's a wimp wannabe. When your garden pests include a 3
foot
iguana and nematodes, THEN you live in the south. Our dill just
bolted into a fireworks display of flowering. Gardening this far
south is no picnic. Bugs come here to vacation.

Hmf I'll see your iguana with a 4ft goanna and raise you with a
red-bellied
black snake.

Hah! Those red bellied black snakes are great! If you have them then
you don't have Eastern Brown Snakes or Tiger Snakes. And I'll bet
that you and I are both much further South than the other posters who
seem to think "South" is somwhere in the Northern Hemisphere :-))


We were told the old furphy about black snakes keeping away the browns but
it just ain't so. We have browns as well but there are more blacks, I don't
really mind the blacks as they leave you alone if you leave them alone but
browns are really scary. Both are endemic to the district. We are about 32
degrees Sth.
