This is our next door neighbour’s tree. I can’t be sure, but I suspect it is either a Japanese or Canadian maple? What I am sure about is how I adore the colour it turns in autumn and how too soon the leaves fall off. Look, you can already see naked branches at the top.
This is our garden at the moment. It’s looking pretty bleak and un-pretty, yes? On the stakes we have broadbeans already growing and pea seedlings that are still underground. There’s a new rosemary not in the shot, and I’m also giving rhubarb a go. My silverbeet has propagated a little baby plant (all you gardening folk are dying at my lack of proper terminology, I’m sure). You can distinguish one from the other better if you click through to Flickr to see the notes on the picture.
Crossing my fingers…again! Especially with the rhubarb. I love rhubarb, but it got a bit battered in the car coming home from Bunnings.
