Hi mate I live in Brissie and grew them first time this year Ijust harvested 2kgs from 1 plant .Was worried about the rotting due to the cyclone we both experienced but it was all good.Might be a good idea to put them in a very well drained area or try a pot so you can move it if it doesn't stop raining otherwise Ithink you should do well.Also don't overwater when you plant it waiit till it sprouts good luck
