Sorry it’s late. I really haven’t been doing much over winter.

Something knocked over my pot of carrots and has been eating the tops, boring down into the root vegetable! I’m suspecting a possum.

I really need to repot the rosemary and buy seeds to resow the cat grass.

Have things been more active in your garden? Did you get some good results with winter vegies, or are you thinking ahead to spring?

The possums have eaten all the broccoli. :(

No garden or balcony so everything is indoors. Most of the Christmas cactus' flowered a month ago. Kinda weird but maybe that's the norm.

The plant below keeps getting attacked by scales. I've washed it a couple of times.

One of my citrus trees' leaves are turning yellow and curling up. I have now just realised that I am a dummy, because I haven't been watering them consistently. Hopefully the coming rain next week will help fingers crossed.

I finally put that rosemary into a proper pot. I’m amazed it survived this long

Got some early jonquills flowering. And wattle is full of buds. Spring in not far away.

I planted 7 lily pilly's.. Front plants I just planted though the roots are getting exposed.. So, I suspect maybe I need to pack dirt onto them
