This is a flower growing in our #streetgarden lit up by the soft #Melbourne winter sunlight. This was grown from a cutting planted in late April.

The man who works across the road and guards the plants in our #StreetGarden (from people who want to dig plants up and take them), gave me some old wire baskets to grow plants in.

Today I lined one with coir matting and emptied one and a half bags of potting mix in it (25 litre bags). I then planted some Christmas Lulium bulbs I had forgotten about. They had sprouted in a plastic bag in the garage. I also planted some Dwarf Iris Alida bulbs in the soil.

We had planned to hook this to the top of the fence but realised it would be way too heavy for the fence.

The #streetgarden we planted on 10th April is going really well. People have taken some of the pot plants we left for people to take home. The nasturtium seeds I planted last spring had not sprouted by April so I gave up on them. To my surprise they have since sprouted.

Today I did some weeding, rubbish removal and moved some of the nasturtium plants to better places.

I bought cheap daffodils bulbs to plant in the #streetgarden I am working on. Because of the high risk of people pinching things I plant, walking on them or the council shutting it down, I only plant things I have grown from cuttings or extremely cheap plants. 20 bulbs for $5 is a good price for the street garden I reckon

But we discovered that a few years ago we had bought a good quality car battery recharger. While waiting for it to charge I cleared weeds from the laneway next to our place and had a think about what I could plant to make it look better.
