I noticed on Saturday a slight drop in the air temperature and there is still a bit of rain around. So on Sunday I decided to plant out all my seeds.I gave some of the older seeds a head start by soaking them in a diluted sea weed solution overnight. It will improve the germination rate especially for older seeds.
I hope the rain has eased off which I feel it has, will let you know what starts to come up.
Don't miss my colum in the weekend feature of the Cairns Post, goes through all the challenges we face growing food in the tropics.
Now is the time to get that veggie garden going, and plant out your seeds.
Got no seeds, go to the fridge, grab a tomato, cut it in half and squeeze out the seeds. Enjoy!

- I'm a photographer, and urban farmer now living in Melbourne. Bringing knowlege on how to grow food in this region through experienced growers and my trial and error. Urban farming has been growing rapidly - worldwide more than 800 million people are engaged in urban agriculture to some degree. Urban farms not only deliver fresh produce the same day it is harvested, with lower transportation costs and the use of less fertilizer and water, they can absorb a significant amoumt of solid and liquid waste, reducing urban waste disposal problems and costs.

I came to your blog via the article in Cairns Post.I like to try all things tropical by experimenting and have just joined the inaugural Edmonton Community Garden. It's great to see a blog like yours which examines tropical gardening in practical ways. I'll be watching!!!!
