Hey laddies,
have a look at my patch!

The beans are getting big and flowering at about 1.1 metres but there aren't really any bees to pollinate as it's too cold and windy, hopefully the weather will warm up a bit and fix that soon.
The cabbages at the foot of the beans have done really well despite the moth attacks, the extra nitrogen from the beans seems to have helped but mycorrhizal fungi would likely help them to be more consistent in sizing.
The cauliflower is again very insconsistent with some heading really well and some coming in late or barely there at all. One of the cauliflowers is getting a loose head and will probably go to seed so I'll put it in a pot when the harvest comes and get some seeds for next year.
Overall things look good.

cut my chilli, capsicum and eggplant down to the ground for the rest of the winter and gave them a good hit of dynamic lifter.
The chilli variety is orange wonder and they're not a bad variety all round, the capsicum is a really sweet mini variety that gets a lot of fruit and the eggplant needs to be moved as it doesn't get enough sun and didn't take to fruit this year at all.
