What's growing in my backyard?
I have a lot of green vegetables growing because it's now Autumn. I was planing on germinating all of my plants for the garden but I left it too late. I was lucky enough to visit Mitre 10 three weeks before lockdown. When I went back a few days before lockdown there were no veggie plants left!
I've collated some photos using Befunky and have added catpions underneath my photos.
I can't wait to wee what's Growing in Your Backyard!

| I love the lemon flowers at this time of year. On a fine day you can still may see a large Queen Bombus terrestris visiting to pollinate the flowers. I have some wee viola's that have self-seeded... |

| It's not time to grow potatoes but these 'wild' ones will dye off once the frosts come. I need to remove them because they're in the onion patch! I get a lot of 'wild' Borage growing everywhere! |
 |
| Most of my veggie bins are now held together with metal bracing because of the earthquakes. I put cracked eggshells around my cabbages to stop slugs and snails. |

| Rainbow Silverbeet and Broccoli to the right... |
 |
| These lettuces are now ready to plant in the garden... |
 |
| To the left is a very large Rhubarb plant and I don't usually see strawberries flowing in Autumn... |
 |
| I grew a potato once that looked like a body part! I love growing tomatoes the best. Some of my ancestors used to have a tomato farm in Guernsey, Channel Islands. |
