It would appear that my habenero plant and at least one Jalapeño survived a
winter of erratic rainfall and very few frosts. A mob from Texas (USA) living here will be happy to hear that, as they love salsa the hotter the better. |

Having cleared the weeds in one corner of the garden I found some herbs I had thrown away earlier in the year and they were doing exceptionally well. Unfortunately the peppers and tomatoes I had hoped would over winter were nowhere to be seen. Mike |

I found some young leeks the other day, and some celery which had regrown in the garden, which was a nice surprise, especially as I was making some chicken soup from the leftover roast chook. I also threw in some kale, silverbeet and nettle as well. |

Things are starting to get going here, I think we're in for an early summer and probably a relatively dry one at that. Good for lots of things though, not all bad. |

The rain water tank is full after about 3 inches in the last month, so a dry summer won't effect the plantings too much. |

I'll be okay too, have about 14000 gallons in rain water plus the creek, which will hopefully flow enough to irrigate my paddocks as much as I'd like. |
