We’ve been quite busy lately, and the garden is coming along really well – aside from the tomatoes getting blight…

My basil has been growing in pure wormcasts and has survived an aphid attack – and won! No sign of the little green bugs now.

The beautiful purple climbing beans have given us more than we can consume ourselves…

Austin likes to supervise any harvesting of course.

And the rhubarb is getting there too..

One of the new developments at home, I recently transplanted this hoya that I had growing in a pot into a hanging container.  It’s obviously much happier and this is the first time it has flowered since I have had it…  very exciting.

And the next big thing, my lovely little pitcher plant has a nice new flower too, much bigger than last year’s one, take a look here, it flowered in April of last year.

Here you can see the other section of the flower that was hidden by the petals, it has pollen in it. Also the petals are no longer pinky red in colour but are now faded and mottled white.

It seems to be completely open now…

The petals are opening up, and are beautiful purple/pink colour.

It’s all happening so quickly!
