    The nets are a game changer for some crops. I am growing red russian kale and pac choi under nets in Melbourne. Keeps the white butterfles off them. I spray once a week with a soap solution to keep the aphids in check. The pac choi bolts, so i pull the plants and replant. Its working well. Kale will go all summer on a single planting.

    Hi Anthony, last year my corn was almost about to form the heads when a thunderstorm came through and flattened the lot. This year I put in stakes and put a guard around them all. Your garden is looking great. Approx. how many beans do you get from one jade bean plant? (Growing for the first time this year) I am picking 8 Zucchinis per week at present. My wife makes a beautiful Zucchini slice. Twice now we had a forecast of up to 20mm of rain but it did not happen. The bush around us is like the end of summer. I think if it does not rain soon we will have a catastrophic fire season. Getting increasingly worried. It is so so dry. I watched the radar today and the rain literally jumped over Adelaide. Have a great weekend mate.

    Love watching your veggie garden grow Anthony and it's a treat to see it so abundant. The hot weather has made a huge difference to me down here in the southern highlands. Soil temperature today was 30C and that's almost unbelievable. Lots to do tomorrow besides the mowing on my 3 acre property before the expected rain.

I'd love to know how you're preparing for the big rains. That's definitely something I've searched for on RUclips and not really found.

      @sydneybackyardveggies9612 13 часов назад

      My biggest thing is to go through and hill the soil around the base of the plants so that the water drains away from the base. I also like to stay copper and sulfur sprays right after the rain stops to prevent disease spread. I also look at the opportunity to add fertiliser to the garden as well

    Anthony. I live in the south west of Sydney. I have fruit fly about, their in my traps. I enclose all my fruit with netting. I have found over the years that if the fruit touches the inside of the bag the fly can lay its eggs. I stretch the bags and netting off the fruit each day, best of luck. Better luck next year for the doggies

      Thanks for the tip mate. I have been seeing fruit flies around the patch for a month now but they haven’t seem to have damaged the tomatoes yet. Expecting it to happen over the next month or so. The netting on the capsicums is off the fruit so it should be ok. Doggies 2025!
