THE END OF WINTER.....

Take a close look at this photo....a bank of very low cloud crept across Adelaide from the sea, while we stayed in full sunshine on the hill. It is about 2/3 the way across, here.	The ultimate feel....a new yacon leaf. There is nothing like it.
Left: a succulent border under the wide eaves. Right: wattles....breathtaking.	A 'tree' of silver beet ....why did it grow like this? It has a trunk which is tied to the stake, but the leaves are not big and the stems are very thick.
Me, enjoying blogging, in a rare moment of sun a few weeks ago. The moment I went inside it rained....all day.	The plums are flowering. My seed frame ready for spring.
Just when I had decided to remove these scrappy hebes they burst into flower. What shall I do???	Bok Choy in flower is beautiful.....
Some of the wattles that are flowering in my street are huge. At right, is a busy bee on some daikon flowers. I watched it while I sat in the vegetable garden and had a cup of tea.... sometimes looking away out to sea , to some of you I will soon be meeting.
These tiny green things are the beginnings of carob pods. Interesting, don't you think?	This sub-tropical white sapote has thrived in the intense heat of summer and right through the cold of winter....quite outstanding and unexpected.
