Winter growing Victoria

[cardrona]

The best bit is it gives you a longer time frame to see traits yiu might be wanting to select for breeding ...structure ...leaf type... habit etc

You inspired me to pop some without anything no cover at all to see what happens ....in the shade and in the sun two lots....

Prediction the indicas will struggle but live the sats will struggle and die...especially the ones in the shade

But we will see how temperate the word temperate climate actually is

Average winter temp down to 5 overnight .

In a rural setting no concrete or buildings storing heat nearby.

I'm still working on the idea of using chickens to provide heat through the coldest nights of winter, I've seen my old man use the same tactics for growing tomatoes in winter the also breathe out carbon dioxide which will benefit plants that are in small closed in areas like a greenhouse for example,rabbits can also be used the same way but I prefer chooks and aged chook shit is like gold for plants so there's another great reason for incorporating chickens into your garden and don't forget the free supply of free range organic eggs you'll be getting on a regular basis,so much better than store bought eggs

V true.....piles of fresh green woodchip work great in igloos or areas inside and out and get very warm and release heat off.

I'm southern NSW by the coast and I reckon I could get an indy or 2 over the line in full sun - anything less and I'd say no hope... but I hope you get a nice surprise!

Not expecting anything really just observation...experiment

Against a brick wall you could
