Default G'day gang :)

Been awhile waiting for the season, weather , aches n pains and not to mention some rain to arrive so i can get back into my Tomato Patch again,
Been looking at my seed collection with thank from those that assisted in this department and just planted my first lot of Tommy seeds out today.
tad later than normal time of the year for me to get my seeds out but with the way the weather has been i doubted i would get any seeds out at all so hope all goes well for me this season.
Started off with some Black Beuty, Orange and Choch Stripes , Bogatyr Maslova , Copia as well as a couple of others and need to purchase more seed raising mix to get the rest out .

Dear Australians, they taught me at school that the Southern Hemisphere was at the end of the summer season when spring was just about to come here in the North. Did I get it wrong?

My education has offered only one explanation: you live so far north that you can only grow things over the winter. Am I wrong?

Milan, you are correct on both accounts. Most of us in Oz grow over your winters, but Volvo is in QLD, which is like Florida is to the rest of the folks in the USA, where bugs roam free and destructive over our summer months, so they grow in our winters, your summer
