Lush garden growth ... 8 weeks from planting

Potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli and onions are doing well ... lebanese cucumbers - slow... beans, carrots, peas, pumpkins (grown from seed) also seem slow; green peppers are a fizzer.

a love of gardening

5 weeks ago my vegetable garden looked like this ...

and today ...

rhubarb transplanted from a friend's house survived (yippee!); potatoes jumped out of the ground, onions no longer thin and floppy, broccoli doubled in size; beans, peas and corn just poking their heads out of the ground, the same for 2 pumpkins planted from seed (at the very back of the garden), several tomato plants have flowered and are now in fruit, and the 2 green capsicum plants look a little sad - yet they do have peppers on them! (will have to keep watering)

the colour purple ...

The colour purple reminds me of my friend, Ali (back home in NZ) because it is one of her favourite colours ... here in my garden the violas, lilac trees, iris, petunias and more are in full bloom ... enjoy!
