Sounds normal for this time of year, but hey I live in the Southern Hemisphere! It is just the tip of one stem, but there were some blossoms on the branch.
I picked a lovely bunch of flowers today, wall flowers, wattle,
pineapple sage,
red saliva, purple

lovely daisies,


It was the first day of WINTER down under and we are down under down under! I know it has been a mild Autumn, this proves it. Bulbs are already up and I even have some broad beans flowering. I am still getting tomatoes of a bush that is protected by a very large red flowering geranium,
My capsicum plant has 3 tiny capsicums on it but it is the 1st day(well now its the 8th) of WINTER!
Perhaps my garden is picking up on my desire to be planting out and producing food, oh why does my body feel it is springtime here not winter..only 12 weeks till Spring (well another 4 or so for us to really be in spring).
I still have peas to get into the garden. Sweet peas, I want to plant heaps of them this year, they are so pretty and scented. Lots of green peas, and snow peas, sugar snaps...yummo.
Okay it is official in the local newspaper today, a small article saying that the Royal Botanical Gardens of Hobart were also experiencing plants flowering and new growth throughout Autumn of plants that normally do not do this. Just glad to know it is not just my little patch that is out of whack.
Climate change is certainly present in my garden right now.

I wish it would rain!The days are lovely aren't they but it was minus 2 on my verandah the other morning! I am so looking forward to meeting up soon, Aussiemade.
I still have tomatoes on too and it has been a very mild autumn and now with winter we will see what happens.
We certainly don't have any of those shenannigans going on here atm.. It's been soo unrelentingly cold that anything that decided it was spring really would have been nuts.
Kind Regards
Belinda
It´s funny when these things happens :-) It happens here too mild autumn and winters. It´s cold and rainy here so my tomatoes refuses to grow at all. I sure hopes it turns soon.
Have a great day now!
Christer.
