Geez Len I hate to complain but Autumn Equinox followed by Winter Solstice.
Jim
The world is full of nitpickers aint it mate?????

Where've ya bin?
This is the sorta stuff they teach at kindergarten here.
If the Equinox is followed by good rains the nitpickers will be out in
force. Picking nits of course. They grow extra well till we plant
garlic in Melbourne, which is about the time the nit pickers, not
being able to stand the smell, disapear.
So the difference between Q'land and Melbourne for planting is we
should plant garlic at the winter solstice...
Love the difference in temperature, but the Q'landers ham it up. We
had this lost Q'land bloke come into my electrical shop once to buy a
heater, and it was mid summer here....
We both had a good laugh....
Crickey!
