Its been in the same spot for at least a couple of years – I think this might be the first time it has flowered. Continue reading Zygo Cactus
Chinese lanterns
Honeycomb
Yellow
I think these are my favorite flowers. .. Hope my ‘Red’ cuttings make it this time 🙂
The Orange and Pink ones both have buds- hopefully flower soon and bring some bees to the east side!

Garden Express order
My Garden express order arrived today.
Im really stoked with their packing. The 4 small tubes were packed in a protective case, then packed in a box.
The 2 bay trees are really healthy and (while tiny) are better than i expected for $5
im hoping my hedlebores flower!
Fraggle Bait
Gonna hunt me some Fraggles!
(If you were born later than 1985, feel free to Google ‘Fraggle’ lol)
I dont love radishes but they are fun to grow.
My fave little Lebanese housewife tells me that they are great pickled. Im gonna give that a shot if I get a decent crop

CERES
First day at CERES
Was great!
Worked on compost for a short time, helped put ‘tree guards’ around some new plantings and wore myself out digging reeds out of the dam.
Met some nice people…. looking forward to next week
