We haven't had much hot weather yet. Its bound to come. Parts of Australia have had heatwave type stuff. But we still need blankets here at 3,000 feet. Planted lots of seed last week. They are just starting to come through.My strawberries are fruiting as are my beans. Have lettuce and tomatoes in as well. Broccoli are still producing.
Planted some Acacia Elata seeds last week (Cedar Wattle) they are a fast growing long living wattle,better than the usual wattle which needs replacing in about 12 or 13 years. They have cream flowers and a nice soft fern like leaf similar to a Poinciana. I have some that were planted two years ago that are about 8 foot high and some others that are over 12 foot now.They are safe trees to have around the garden as their branches are small and they aren't a big tree when mature.
