I finally have my fall garden cooking. Garlic's coming up, Radishes swelling, various Brassica's getting bigger, lettuce leafing, Parsley, Coriander and all doing well. Still have issues with Cabbage Worm, even with the slew of different organic sprays. Neem oil does seems to irritate them, but I think these things are terminator worms. However, my fish do benefit from them. I guess persistence is the key.

I use Horseradish as a back drop to our annuals. We harvest the roots after the leaves freeze back, and mash it up.

By the way, I really get a kick (Jealous) out of how much you in the tropics can grow. Also the different local wildlife I see on the YouTube Channel. Australian Opossums are much cuter than these over sized rat looking Opossums we have.

Oops, I meant to post this on the Temperate Climate forum. At least you can see how fortunate you are.

That looks brilliant! So stunning!
And your climate comes with it benefits. A lot of plants need cooler temperatures to sweeten and we don't get those here. It stays too warm all year long. I'm sweltering alongside them, haha.
And even if the animal is cuter, it still bears the same issues! And the tropical birds here (like cockatoos) like breaking just plants just for the heck of it (they're very cocky, like they own the place). Doesn't happen as much over there I hope. And honestly, your garden looks amazing! Much better than mine! I'm jealous instead :D

Thank you Mandy!!! The only bird that causes me issues are the Cardinals, who eat my hottest peppers. Maybe that's how they keep their red color. 😤
