Last harvest before frost.

Okinawa spinach, pink okra, achocha, green peppers (lesya and madhatter), kami eggplants, queen of minalco tomatillos, winged beans

Threw it all into spaghetti suace. So basic, I know. 🫣🥹

Beautiful pink form of Thelymitra alpina (Highland sun orchid) near Square Rock, Namadgi NP, ACT. Most plants at this location had the more typical blue flowers this year -this was the only pink form I saw on my last visit to the mountains.

It's #WoodlouseWednesday!

I can't think of any other animal that has so many regional common names. You might know these as:

Slaters, Roly-polys, Sow-bugs, Pill-bugs, Potato-bugs, Pissebeds, Chisel bobs, Grammersows, Granfer-grigs, Billy-buttons, Kellerassel...

What do you call them?

Lichens and moss in a rock crevice.

Announcing a new project - Growsie - a plant sharing community.

The idea is to connect local people online to help them swap plants and growing tips, and help them support local community gardens.

We plan to launch a small test in Newham, East London and grow from there.

A forecast of cold temperatures in the coming days means the end to a long season of my outdoor Coleus plants.

But their bold, brilliant, luminous foliage will bring glowing memories, warming me as I putter about on frosty mornings in the garden…
