I'm harvesting a small amount each day!
Weather:
The week started Hot, cooled down on Monday then the temperature steadily climbed back to 36C by Saturday. The New Year looks like starting off very hot with 39C predicted for the next few days! Argh!!
Propagation:

Some 'top-up' seeds from earlier greens planting after the rain and heat kind of killed the first lot!!!

Coreopsis

I don't have a lot of luck growing that variety
