Yesterday I was out in the garden planting peas and beans, when a couple of visitors arrived. Here they are: a pair of beautiful crimson rosellas. They had no fear and flew straight past my head, to land on the window sills. I thought they were lovely untill I realised what they were doing - eating the grouting from the window frames. I had heard that cockatoos do that, but had never heard that rosellas will.
Okay, the pictures aren't great, but they were the best I could do with my cheap digital camera. I was pleased I found the zoom button!
I have lots of beans up, and because of the rain in the last week, my zucchini are fruiting again. There is even a nice bok choy in the middle of the back yard. Better use that before hubby mows next.
The sunchokes and peanuts need to be pulled up this week. I wonder what the crop will be like. I will post pics when they are up.
Went to visit a friend at the weekend. She has recently moved from a house she has lived in forever, so her entire garden has been put in pots and taken with her. Her old landlord wanted the entire garden put back to lawn. What a silly man, but what an amazing sight. She would have needed a 2 tonne truck just for the plants!
