Remember not to let your seedlings dry out in these warm months.
Just lost most of my Chili seedlings because I was sure they could survive ‘until the morning’ without a a water. (‘Until the morning’ turned out to be three days later! )
Water when you can 🙂

The temp tomorrow us predicted at 40 before rain.
That means that the temp on my west facing stairs might top out at 55!
Ive given everything a good water and now I cross my fingers.
Its mmeant to be very hot over xmas and new years- dont know if I can head away 😦
Wear a hat!
I was ambitious enough to try to plant a few things down at the plot early this afternoon.
While it was only 25 degrees my face was sunburned in less than half an hour!
Don’t forget your hat!
Size dosen’t matter
No steroids here! Home Grown!

Blueberries Galore
I’m so stoked! Robbie bought me a blueberry (tree) for xmas last year.
I didnt think it would do any good here – so just planted it in an old bucket and crossed my fingers.
Ate the first first 4 berries off the (tree? bush?) last week and noticed today that there is at least a dozen more ready to be picked!

Red Abutilon (Chinese lantern)
I found an awesome Red Chinese Lantern Tree growing in roadside garden
Mum struggles to propagate the Red ones so im hoping these will take off so we can share
Here they are all planted out. Used my own propagation mix, mostly cow poo and compost.
hope they work out.
Mum makes awesome ‘twisted plants’ she takes 3 or 4 different colours of these and plaits them into a standard… like this one https://www.jparkers.co.uk/plant-0001292/abutilon-tricolour-p12/
I’m determined to beat her, and create a 5 colour variety!
