The last couple of days have been sunny and warm, but today is overcast, with rain forecast for the afternoon.
About 6 or 7 weeks ago, I planted the snow-peas, which must have been very late in the season, as we still haven't had any crop.
They've grown quite big ...
... and begun to flower. So, hopefully, some snow peas soon.
We have eaten some of the salad greens that grandson R gave us to grow, but so have the caterpillars.
Lastly, our faithful orange tree has put forth its flower buds, ready for a new fruiting season.
That's the beauty of living in Perth, beautiful climate,big houses and vast pieces of land for a song.
ReplyDeleteNot for much longer - the size of a block of land now is about half (480 sq m) of what it was when we came.
DeleteAnother good theme - always a new season to usher in a new phase after one ends.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was an auspicious day of arrival, though we did not know it at the time.
DeleteMy rambutan tree is flowering too, not flourishing though - I never take good care of it, not even bothered to water daily, lazy me!!! Durian is still in season but fresh flowers are out - watch out for my blogpost on this...coming soon. I expect another round at the end of the year or early next year, round Chinese New Year time.
ReplyDeleteWowwww!!! 34 years already! You've lived half your life there. My older brother in Auckland went in his early 20's - he has lived there a whole lot longer than here.
Water and fertilise your rambutan tree, and it will reward you. Yes, the 34 years have flown by, especially the last 13 years of retirement bliss.
DeleteMy lime tree is flowering too. But I do need bees to pollinate them, don't I? I had a chilli plant which just flowers but never gives me chilli. Problem is, there're no bees or rather they don't come to me.
ReplyDeleteStrange you don't have bees where you live. We have lots. I want to plant some chillies, too and hope mine will fruit!
