Thought it was great we could grow Kiwi fruit down here, but this year they were sun burned and some rotted. We used 7000 Litres of tap water for the first time ever, carried in 10 Litre watering cans to the veg, so really hard work. Just seen a 4" + preying mantis and we have a toad bigger than my fist visiting the chicken drinkers. Our tomatoes are being eaten by ants! Something weird is going on??
Warmer climate means more problems currently controlled with chemicals soon to be banned, so don't get too excited Orinlooper.
