There hasn't been much to post about as the long hot summer roles on. Except maybe suffering and dieing plants, and who wants to hear about them. We're getting some relief this weekend with temps in the high 20s. Bring on autumn weather!
I did plant a couple of tomatoes as an experiment to see how they would perform through Perth's warm autumn. Using superb judgment, and misplaced optimism, I planted these just in time for a two week heat wave with temps up around 37 deg C. They've suffered a bit. Still, they're alive so there is some hope. I planted two small fruiting varieties, something called Wild Sweetie and another described simply as "Cherry", as these are usually the simplest to grow and I figured might be more likely to succeed out of season.

ReplyDeleteplus there have been quite a few volunteers, so i'm interested in seeing what they grow up to be
Good work, these ones aren't doing very well and may come out shortly to make room for some peas.
