Spring has well and truly sprung in our pocket of the world.
Time to get the garden looking springy
Today our veggie patches are getting a decent fill with compost and a redo, ready for the tommies which is our biggest grower and of course our zucs, cucumbers, and all the fun things
At one point over the summer last year we were picking tomatos 10 a day.
The Rural garden supply loves to see me!!
Whats everyone planting

@Shaz51 I think that first photo is a "dwarf apple gum", a native. It's lovely.
@DownMoreThanUp yes growing a garden is very rewarding. But these particular photos were mostly from my local pocket park. Except for the evening primrose. There've been some very colourful weeds pop up nearby. Another one was a red clover.

Oh that's a spotted begonia isn’t it @Shaz51 ? The passionfruit me and my helper transplanted is growing really well. My cherry tomatoes are producing fruit and they’re delicious. Beans are growing well. Got a strawberry and radishes too. Planted some globe artichokes but they won’t produce until next spring.

The yellow one looks like a gum @DownMoreThanUp @Chasingsunsets @Shaz51 @Dimity . Turned airboff for a little while here. Can see me turning it on again soonish. Having a cold drink. Hope you’re ok.
