Spring has been knocking for a couple of weeks but is clearly here now. The last of the winter aloes have finished and the spring ones are now out. The first orchids are out. Some lachenalias and daffodils are finishing but some are still strong. Also kalanchoes - the newly bought ones are in full flower now, while the plants from last year are budding up for continuity. The garden is full of colour.
Vege garden has some issues. The winter lettuces have been a bit slow but are just perking up now but the spinach just didn't happen. Leeks, garlic and brassicas are variable. We bought a pH meter at Bunnings this morning and was surprised to find the soil is too acidic. Hopefully a dose of lime will do the trick.
