This month's harvest:
-20 passionfruit + 20 for the possums (have proof!) and half dozen for passersby
-5 broadbeans
-3 chokos
-6 red eggplant
-2 large couve trochuda leaves
The garden is in bloom, there is rain, life is good.
A little sweet pea flower hiding amongst the sweet potato (never plant SP in the ground EVER again!)
A pretty geranium amongst the SP
Love the creamy nasturtiums
ID anyone? Caraway, valerian?
Giant cosmos, seed saved
Pretty lily! Forgot I stuck in soil (from Aldi)
Pretty :)
Seed saving pakchoi
Pretty looking choko
Huge work clearing out the jungle out the back fence. With help from a friend, we put in some Weeping lillypillies - looking forward to them growing tall and strong :)
That is a 50 cent piece on the couve torchuda - was feeding us for days
Flowering hyssop among the banana babies
And my current favourite - fruity sage :)
Visited some friends who have a mini pop up nursery of native seedlings on their verge, lovely idea.
They gifted a mac nut seedling (below) & cape gooseberry
More bread adventures in November - raisins and walnuts seem to be popular
Happy gardening !

Hmmm! I can almost smell the fresh bread. The butterfly does look like an Aussie Painted Lady. They all come alive after the rain.
Could the white flower be a Quuen Annes Lace flower? The cream nasturtium is unusual.
Lovely pics and update Sophie. I would have said caraway to your plant id request, though now I can't tell if it is indeed valerian, (mine hasn't flowered yet).
Is your beautiful healthy fruity sage plant one you got from the shabby looking rooted cuttings I took to Andy's garden visit? It's looking good.
Love the bread too. It's making me hungry now.
My! Ever amazed at the productivity of suburbia - especially your patch of suburbia, Sophie!
The butterfly could be an 'Australian Painted Lady' Vanessa kershawi not one I have ever seen but apparently common enough around town to make it into the locally-produced Create More Butterflies book.
Always add photos using the "From my computer" option, even if you are on a mobile phone or other device.

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
