RE: 🌱to💰• Growing Money In Your Yard Series • {pt2} • Grow What You Know & How to Find Profitable Opportunities
Thank you for your post. My partner and I are about to move from Darwin to the Bundaberg area of Queensland, Australia, so we can grow our own fruit and vegetables. I am the green thumb of the relationship and plan to grow a number of heirloom varieties.

I wish you & yours a fruitful journey (pun points!), @miriamaendres. Growing your own food, at any capacity, is a rewarding experience. The best part about growing heirlooms (largely the reason I grow mostly heirloom varieties) is collecting seed! You can establish a 'bank'. That makes you more self sufficient and if you enjoy gardening - it can actually reduce stress. I will be doing a ton of garden related topics in the near future, once my tomato season is done 😋
What's the annual low temperature where you're at in Australia?

That is a healthy amount of rainfall, wow! I'm on Eastern coast, U.S., and my area gets an average of 40.72 inches (1034mm) annually, with 111 days of precipitation average. We get most of that in March, July, and September.
🙏 Good health & wealth, in abundance, to you & yours! Best luck with your move and Happy Growing!!
Brandon, The mean max and min are for the hottest and coldest months. Thank you for your information. I grew up with my parents measuring rain in points and inches. For me I still think in those terms.
