Location Description

I garden in a dry tropics zone in north eastern Australia. Conditions here are comparable to U.S. Plant Hardiness Zone 11.

My region's weather pattern is dominated by a short wet summer (around 3 months) and a relatively long dry season for the remainder of the year (around 9 months).

The Heat Zone here is 9, which means we average at least 180 days with temperatures above 30 deg C (86 F).

The Cold Zone here is 11, which means our absolute minimum temp. is 4 deg C, but that rarely happens. We can sometimes experience winter night-time lows of around 8-10 deg C (46-50 F).

Temps. usually range between a winter minimum of 13 deg C (55 F) and a summer maximum of 35 deg C (95F). We average at least 300 clear days of sunshine each year.

About Me and My Blog.

Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Retired Teacher.

I do not have a horticultural degree or landscape business. I am not a garden guru or an accomplished horticultural writer. I am just your ordinary home gardener.

I started this blog back in 2009 as a way of recording what goes on in my dry tropics garden here amongst the bushland of north-eastern Australia. I took a hiatus after 2015 but now, at the start of 2025, I'm back!
