Thanks!
You named a spider after me! Aww. Praps I wouldn't hit that one with a shoe.
Well.
It seemed appropriate.

You really shouldn't. Orb weavers are pretty cool spiders.

I potted some tomatoes seeds in trays the other day - just ones I'd bought to eat from the store and they've germinated in 4 days. Other seeds are being really stubborn/sulky.
Is this what we talk about in this thread?![]()

Snapdragons and gazania, getting fuller.
Odd thing about this gazania - I bought it some time last summer but didn't get around to planting it. It was almost dead when I put it in the ground. Just one little wisp of green left. I'm glad I put it in the ground. I enjoy the cheerful yellow flowers. And it was one of my sister's favorites.
Also, note the volunteer torenia at its base. I'm going to leave that there for now.

I planted some gazania seeds about two weeks ago and have the teeniest shoots appearing from a couple. I've never grown them for seed before and I've prob left it too late but I'll post pics. I love their mad colours!
All my tomatoes seeds have germinated and I've got some sprouts appearing on my supermarket potatoes. All very exciting for a newb![]()

I can't seem to get rid of my tomatoes. They're relentless, sprouting up everywhere. I pulled out 6 plants, and two weeks later there are 20 more. I found more growing in the compost bin.
I've got a whole bunch of veg growing at the moment. It's mid autumn here. Carrots, onions, silverbeet, spring onions, garlic, cauliflower and cabbage. They're going great. I'm keeping an eye out for pests.
Chillies, capsicum and tomatoes about ready to pull out.
Took me a wee while to do the landscaping. I've got the bigger stuff growing down the fence. Smaller veg in the patch.
The caterpillars absolutely smashed my beautiful mint, the fucking bastards. And they've tried taking out my cabbage as well. I don't like to spray my edibles, but I have eco oil for when things start to get ugly.
My herbs are loving the cooler weather. I've got thyme and oregano, parsley and rosemary. I'd put more, but the last time I went to Bunnings they were sold out.
The bare root roses are coming up from Treloar in Victoria. They'll arrive around June, and then I've got a whole lot more veg to go in.

Nice to read that your garden is thriving. Certainly beats a drought.
Yes. We went from the fires to flooding to Covid bloody 19. It's been crazy!
I'm happy with it. And ever so grateful for the rain that we got even though it destroyed a few homes. Sometimes you've gotta take the bad with the good.
I can't wait to try my silverbeet though I love the stuff. Love my greens.
