Yes i am worried about the seasons going haywire here too.. so changeable. especially when you trying to keep the critters in balance
we are Brisbane Australia and well known for crazy weather. Fire or floods then drought.
i love my herbs and thyme is perhaps my ultimate fav... if i had to pick based on taste.

we are starting out homesteading journey with chickens, worms, mealworms, a large vege garden and lots of big pots... see how we go :-)
happy gardening
