Notes

Lemon thyme and ordinary thyme, which I dug up from the old garden and brought to Ballarat with me. The lemon thyme died and the ordinary stuff seems to be rather overwhelmed by a giant sage bush that took over the area they're in; perhaps I should move it.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
