Pomegranate, Kalanchoe & Daffodils

The pomegranate tree has sprouted new flowers as spring settles in. I was attracted to this pot of trailing kalanchoe at Bunnings. It is a succulent that produces stunning red flowers. I bought it and have it hung at a shady corner of my new backyard. Looks like I am beginning to give more attention to flowers.

Two daffodils at the vege patch of the rental house have opened just two days before I move out. Thanks daffodils for that!

And then this daffodil greeted me yesterday just before I fly out of Melbourne. Thanks for such excellent timing!

Bird Visitors.

It's been interesting staying at this rental property over this one year. I have observed various visitors in our backyard and it is just such treasurable moments watching them. This really really fat spotted neck pigeon was the fattest I have ever seen. I am not sure if he is the one of the two which frequent my garden but he surely looked very comfortable around here.

Today I even have crows visiting. They are collecting Marco's fur from the grass to build their nest. It is amazing what materials they use to build their house!

Marco posing for my camera after I let him out to roam. The spotted neck pigeon was not at all intimidated by him.

Dwarf Peach is Flowering

I have not gone out into the garden for a few days. It has been windy. Today I had to water the pots to ensure they are not drying out. Even the oregano which likes it dry is wilting in the mini greenhouse. My pixee peach's blossoms are open. Sweet-smelling pink flowers. I gave it a water of charlie carp solution. It is also bearing green leaves.

My lone spinach is growing quite nicely. Too little to harvest haha...

I was surprised to see two daffodil buds. Maybe I may have a chance to see its flowers since I still have a week before moving.

The Plum and Peach Trees are Flowering.

The peach tree which bore yummy peaches for us is already flowering. However, I do not see many flowers this year compared to last year. Maybe this peach tree is one of those that produces once every two years. Pretty peach blossoms. Fortunately I am able to enjoy the beautiful view out of our living room window for the second time before moving out one week later. Most of the plum trees on this property are flowering. Beautiful plum blossoms.

Progress in the Garden.

Pot of pretty nasturtiums still flowering. Makes a really pretty entrance statement every time I come home. Lavender bee pretty is also making flowers after the aphids were gotten rid of by intensive pyrethrum treatment. Fortunately my lavender leaves were not burnt by the sprays.

Wise for me to leave the rosemarys out in the open where it got sun, rain and wind. The powdery mildew is well under control.

Daffodils at vege patch will be abandoned by me at the end of the month when I move.

Chilli padis growing well and took a long time to reach this stage.

Oriental radishes growing steadily and too will be abandoned at the end of this month.

Pixee peach is producing flower buds.

Kaffir lime is finally producing new leaves. Purple ones??

Potted capsicum producing new leaves too. Spring, come soon!
