Mini cauliflowers
So these have sprung up again, almost ready to eat, nice small cauliflower variety.
And a big purple cauliflower that went to seed too early, guess the worms can eat you!
Fennel Patch
In this spot we can never get anything to grow......until now!
Fennell plants a plenty, seem to be living here next to the compost bin, keep it up dudes!
Purple Cauliflower
So we've had success with our purple cauliflowers, most grew pretty well, unfortunately I discovered (too late) all these annoying, grose little grey bugs under the leaves, which seemed to slow them down, some decided to just throw in the towel and go to seed, but the ones that stick it out were great!
Tomato time
You can shove ya "transplant tomatoes outside after the Melbourne Cup....", mine are started now, in winter, outside.
So far we have 5 Siberian tomato seeds germinated , planted about a week ago in seedling raising mix in Orange large trays. Hoping for the rest of the tray to come through soon so we can start on some more!

Refugee corner
It's spring & it's time to start with gardening. This year I have created a small recovery space for our green friends who have lost their way in the past year.
Patient no.1- Monstera
About a year ago our friend was moving house and gave us 2 monstera branches. The Monstera below got the 'unpopular spot' in front garden and has not grown at all, while the other monstera has grown 7 leafs over 50cm each! So this is the second chance for him to become a hero indoor plant. Fingers crossed it will work!
Patient no.2 - Venus Flytrap
Present for Mark from Krisso. Only came to our house 6 months ago and needs some intense love to make the comeback.
Patient no.3 - Pine Bonsai
Unloved. Unhappy. 6month old.
Patient no.4 - pudding tree.
Was actually doing ok outside but we thought to try to convert it to indoor plant. Let's see how this goes;)
Patent no.5 - Mini Monstera
Brand new dweller from Loose Leaf
Patent no.6 - baby's Tears
Relicating inside.
Patient no.7 - Maiden Hair
We have tried to grow it more than twice and it always ends like this ;(
