I live in Florida. We have rust. It's a fact of life. Paradise is not perfect. I don't let it stop me from growing plants I like. We also have lots of bugs, diseases, and other challenges. But it does not snow here, plants grow year round here, and I love it here .... despite hurricanes, heat, and all the other stuff that comes with living in Florida. I imagine that Australia is the same, right, Glen?
I, too, have had to step away from the computer to avoid the LA temptation. It is addicting and can become expensive .... I have my few won auction seedlings and will enjoy those and the freebie seeds I've gotten from some very generous folks. I can't wait to see the first blooms from these seedlings this coming Spring/Summer. Oh! The possibilities from seeds .....
