Gardening tangent

Uninspired. Hence, links!

I wanna dress like Annie Butterfly - oh, the colours! The accessories! I tend to wear a lot of black, and I would really like to branch out into wearing more colour. I suddenly feel an urge to race off to St Vinnies and have a browse. I haven't been second-hand shopping in ages.

Kris in Tasmania writes beautifully - about her garden, and her children, and many other things. She makes me want to get out there and plant something. (Also, we were part of the same University society, albeit at different times, so I feel that we're connected.)

That reminds me - I discovered a pumpkin vine in the garden at home. One of the nice things about moving into a new place is discovering what its previous owner planted, and this was a lovely surprise, as I've never been successful growing things-on-vines before. And this vine already has baby pumpkins on it, which is rather exciting. No input from me required.

Also! My brother is gallivanting off to South America for three months, and along with all his worldly possessions and his car, he has left me two Wollemi pine seedlings to look after. Let's hope they're particularly hardy specimens.

OK, I'm sure had more links than that to share, but apparently neglected to note them down anywhere. Never mind. Next time.
