How is your veggie garden after all this rain?

How is your veggie garden after all this rain? Are your zucchinis like mine- disintegrating with all that wet weather and lack of sunshine? Are your lettuce plants growing too fast and collapsing into a heap before they mature, and how about those capsicums and eggplants; they just don't stand a chance with all the rain we've been getting.

The tropical vegetables on the other hand are doing absolutely fantastic. They thrive in all this humid, hot and rainy weather and they look absolutely mind boggling with all the growth they've experienced since the drought broke. There is so much food in the garden that we can't eat it all!

If you would like to know more about growing and cooking with tropical vegetables then there will be a new ten week course commencing every Wednesday at the Yandina community gardens. Contact Elisabeth Fekonia for a course overview and you will need to book in with TAFE.
