We've enjoyed good rains during the past week. Our 10,000 litre rainwater tank is now full.
The downside to the wet season (as it used to be) is the emergence of just about every kind of insect known to man.
In the past week, small grubs and aphis have invaded our NFT lettuce and herbs and our tomatoes are being stung before they reached 30mm in diameter. I've already spotted the first leaf hoppers for the season. We've purchased some mosquito nets but I think it's probably too late for some of our plants.
Vegetable gardening in Queensland is a year round activity but it becomes much more challenging at this time of year.
