The snails are on our side. My husband’s workmate swears he found this flyer in his letterbox in this state.
A photo of a pink, yellow and blue ACT party flyer which was left in a letterbox for a few days. Snails have neatly chomped David Seymour out of the flyer. It looks like Nicole McKee has divorced him and ripped him out of the photo in a fit of rage. We sympathise.

I’m guessing this sad specimen with its two measly figs is not going to cut the mustard 😢

Favourite peony this week - tree peony ‘Spellbound’. Huge blooms 20cm across when fully opened, flamboyant, fragrant. 🇳🇿🌱

Every now and then I look at my profile and say to myself “what a liar, I hardly post about growing things at all.” So in the interests of a truthful profile, have some pumpkins. Grabbing the chance to humble-brag about being a 2 wheelbarrow family 🌱🇳🇿

Orange, pink and red dahlias in a tarnished silver vase, sitting on a kitchen bench. A blurry image of the photographer is dimly visible, reflected in the vase. Half of a salami and a cheese cutter are also visible on the bench.

This patch of vegetable garden pleases me every time I walk by - carrots, tomatoes, thyme, parsley, sweet peas, alyssum, lobelia. Ok ok, it’s really more of a flower garden.
Photo of a garden with feathery carrot foliage in the foreground, white alyssum and blue lobelia in the midfield, and white-and-lavender sweet peas and more greenery in the background. A bantam rooster is behind a steel mesh panel fence that has several small tomato plants growing against it.

Photo of a boy and three small black dogs running in shallow water at a sandy flat bay. The sand is a goldy shade and the sky is blue. There are dark green forested hills in the distance.

Drop something yellow from your gallery.
A photo of a single pale-yellow potato chip in the bottom of a bowl. It is the shape of Australia. But Chip Tasmania has got misplaced and is lying off the east coast of Chip Brisbane. A 12 year old ate this chip moments after the photo was taken. He said “it was good”.

I have the same rose and embarrassed to say that until I read your post I’d never stopped to smell it. In my defence it requires a scramble upwards to reach it.

Gardening is highs and lows, steps forward and steps back, and trialling, experimenting and reworking what didn’t work the first time around. This year I am ridiculously pleased with my mini cucumber fence. Four years to get an approach that has finally worked out in line with my hopes. 🌱🇬🇸
