Did you now we actually have 3 summers in the veg garden here in the subtropics?

We have 3 distinct seasons for cold temperate, Mediterranean and tropical crops in the garden.

This is one of the secrets to successful vegetable gardening in the subtropics for Nthn Rivers and SE Qld.

This info-packed weekend course will cover:
• seed saving,
• companion planting,

• planning year-round food supply - subtropical three 'summers'
• making compost & compost tea and worm juice brews,
