Just planted seeds for sugar baby watermelons last Sunday been. These seeds are from the last set of watermelons I had last year, so this is a first for me where I actually use seeds from fruit I have eaten. I still have heaps of seeds left over, so I am now setting up another raised garden. So I will probably have double, if not triple the harvest from last year.
Lemon tree flowers have nearly all been exhausted, so I think I will be getting a large batch of lemons. My other citrus trees are starting to flower now, so not sure if they will be covered in flowers and bees soon, of if they will be a bit more conservative. The pineapple orange I have planted is still really small, so I am pinching the flower buds off of it so it can focus on growing up. Maybe next year.
Setting up a new garden in the middle of my back yard. Going to focus on planting natives in it. I get three free trees from my local council every year, so that will be the focus for this little garden. Still pretty ugly at the moment, haven't gotten rid of the grass yet, so will post photos once it is complete.
Overall, exciting start to Spring. Been a really hot end to Winter and start to Spring here in Queensland, so all the plants are getting excited and flowering heaps.
The one in the photos is a Bottlebrush. But, I do have a couple Pohutukawa's planted around the garden, though they are still small and haven't flowered yet.
