Hi everyone
I'm a 50-something early retiree with too much time on my hands. As you can see from my location bar, I'm in Sydney where it's kind of hot right now (expected to hit 37 C around 5pm).
I've gardened on and off over the years, but always in a rather haphazard way.
For the last 20 years, I've confined my gardening to containers on my balcony and abandoned even that for long stretches of time when bad weather has wiped out pretty much everything.
The last couple of years I've thrown in a few summer vegie plants with mixed results, but as our summer (allegedly) draws to a close I have realised that I want more than growing my own salads and would really like to grow at least some of my own vegetables year round. I haven't attempted winter vegetables in over 20 years so it will be a learning curve for sure.
To that end, over the coming weeks I'll be putting in some raised beds and starting seedlings for a modified SFG.
I love the diversity of the knowledge base here.
I'm finding the allotment threads fascinating. We have community gardens here but they're a bit different.
So much more to learn.
