Better conversions between growing zones would be a good start. Trying to mash Australian growing zones into the USDA ones is always going to be difficult, but the current map has Sydney and Melbourne in the same growing zone as the Simpson Desert which is certainly an interesting choice.

    I've got a top in the front garden. It's not growing or dying, just sitting there. Amazingly, it survived the record snowfall this town got in NW Florida two years ago. Buried under 10" of snow! It also hits 19F a few times each winter and that hasn't killed it either. Maybe I should feed it...

    Answer: The cost of food has risen recently. As a result, using food for sexual pleasure is a more expensive proposition when it can instead be used for sustenance. OP makes a reference to this when he mentions the current state of the economy.

    Of course pineapples may be much more affordable in your region, or you may be financially well off, so you may not have noticed the concern shared by others. If this is the case please see if you can donate your pineapples to local food pantries or sex clubs. If that's not feasible, and you aren't a big fan of eating pineapple, you don't have to feel bad about fucking it, as it would otherwise go to waste.

    I hope that helps.

    They used AI to make a special calculator to multiply four numbers together, so it absolutely tracks.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go full-circle and start a new business venture selling TI-83s to AI bros on ebay as “tensor processing units”.

    You're not doing anything wrong. Jasmine doesn't flower all year round, depends on the variety but usually it's only in spring. Mine looks fairly similar to this, also in Melbourne.

    I found the idea for the poppies from this page: (was looking for alternatives to burning pine needles to smoke the seeds)

    https://gardenpedia.blog/matilija-poppy-seeds-germination-guide

    Dilute the liquid smoke in a ratio of 1:10 with distilled water. Submerge the matilija poppy seeds in the solution for a full 24-hour cycle to ensure the liquid penetrates the dense outer shell.

    This soaking period acts as a chemical scarification, softening the lignified exterior while simultaneously delivering the growth hormones directly to the embryo. The results of this treatment are statistically significant for any serious grower.

    I did find some mesquite liquid smoke that is just distilled water with the smoke "essence". When I checked online for the one I purchased, I did see somebody in the reviews mention that they used it for seeds.
