Cucumber and Zucchinis

First tomatoes to move out!

It was Saturdy the 4th of October when we planted our early Tomato variety ... To Tomato Shed. It's about a month earlier than usual in Melbourne, but as the weather have been warmer than years before we thought to give them a go.

Zig zag Wattle new growth


After blooming in August/ July  we cut back our 3 year old Wattle tree branches. This is the first time we have done it and it looks like it is liking it. 



Flowers of October


This spring has been warmer than usual which is probably the reason for so many beautiful self seeding flowers which are now blooming in the garden. Great work! Hopefully Cosmos will join you all soon. 

And poppies.

Greenhouse action

Tomatoes in the green house, doubled in size in two weeks, needed a re-pot, looking very healthy, and with the weather in Melbourne fineing up, should be fine.  Have even put some younger 'Wild Sweetie' seedlings in for a test.

Hot water green house, keeps things nice and hot, a bit too hot sometimes, but we'll give it a crack, gonna get these chillies going one way or another.
