The weather here has menopause.
One day it's freezing, wet and icy and you can't get warm.
Next day it's a little cool, the sun comes out and it's warm enough to wear a t-shirt until 4 in the afternoon.
As I said before, this time of year - winter/ the dry season is when I would have grown standard European type veggies like tomatoes, broccoli, zucchini etc.
It's dry and cool NEVER cold and wet.
My garden would have completely failed if I had been allowed to plant it.
They are saying we are in for a hectic time for our coming wet season with a lot more cyclones crossing the coast.
A lot of rain and heat means 100% humidity.
Crops getting root rot and mildew.
At higher heat even tropical crops stop growing and drop their flowers and any set fruit.
Elephant grass and other tropical weeds jumping out of the ground at a foot per day.
I had better stock up on more blackberry strength roundup because I'm still committed to a "scorched earth" policy
for my front yard and nature strip.
