He may have scope for a claim there, being one of the original artists?

Spring! My own (miniature) peach and nectarines going gangbusters as usual at this time of year. They wake the bees up!




(C’mon, who has the full sized ones ).

Anyone who doesn’t know boronias is missing out on one of the joys of life. This little guy fills up my courtyard with the most glorious scent.

The broad beans look allright too.

Weeellll ... I could show off my broad beans, caulis, broccoli, peas, garlic, spring onions and beetroot (with spuds and raspberries on the way) but that would be tiresome.

it was “ok”. Fish fair, cod batter was very fatty but cod in crumbs better, whiting Crumbed was ok. prawns were ok as was calimari, chips ok. There are 5-6 fish and chip shops in Wellington Point village which maybe better.

Our favourite is the Shelly at Shorncliffe. https://m.facebook.com/Shelleyinn/

We do a F&C lunch run with friends once a month or so, usually to points or coastal areas with water views roughly within an hour of western suburbs.

Walking distance from my office.

But I’m at a different office for the next couple of days.



Lovely walk along the beach this evening followed by burgers & Blockers* on the balcony watching a near-full moon rise.

One garden nursery told me that (in Adelaide at least) we are wasting our money trying to plant them. I've had a couple last a year or two but nothing more

Glorious day in McLaren Vale today - I wonder how much longer it will stay this green - 31 in Adelaide tomorrow

Lockdown or not, as difficult as it has been and will be for a while longer, Melbourne is still a lovely place to live.

Here's a tip for those wanting to grow beautiful Azaleas - plant them beside your carport, bang them regulalrly with the car door as you get in/out, blast them with noxious fumes and forget to feed them! Works brilliantly.

Agree, despite what some might advise, I found them very hardy as long as you don't let them dry out

Very nice! i love that Tassie is still trapped in the 1800's, in everything from buildings, to transportation, to tech.
