I’m just boasting here … not that I did any of the growing myself. These plants don’t seem to mind standing around on a south facing balcony …
This is a rainforest species and starts in the undergrowth, so the conditions probably right up its alley.
Bolly gum … it’s reaching for the outdoor light I’ve been leaving on for the fishpond. It’s grown over 30 cm in 6 months. A sprig of its new growth.
This velvety kurrajong is also putting out new growth. I think I finally found the place it likes.
Isn’t that a lush and verdant growth of parsley and Chinese cabbage? I suspect that their success is more to do more with growing in thinly covered composting vegetables.
Most of the rest of the plants are struggling in various different ways. But never mind, I heard from my neighbours that we do get sun for a few weeks! Maybe then there will be various growth spurts. We’ll see.
