even our Dear Jackie

Who?

Jackie French - an Australian garden writer that Otterbot and I both
admire. She doesn't reiterate all the old gardening crud but actually
does some research for herself and reports on her own experieinces. A
lot of the garden law that applies/applied in the old world is simply
not applicable or even useful in Oz and much of it would not even
still apply in the old world if more gardeners were willing to try new
things.

i'm a huge fan of john seymour, but even his "australian & n.z. edition" of
one of his books is just cobblers. i don't mean all of it of course
(otherwise i wouldn't be a huge fan!!) but in the editing process i think
all that happened was they exchanged the names of months to the one 6 months
hence. so the general advice is excellent, but frankly he can stick his
holding beds where the sun doesn't shine :-) life's too short - you don't
garden here like he does in a moist, englishy place with a "short growing
season".

anyway! as you were.
