Head to his blog if you want to learn more or join in on the fun. 1. New growth Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’ Progress on Propagation Station 2020.

A succulent update (succulupdate?)
A post full of photos this evening. Updates from around the garden – Little Missy’s tiny flowers and a succulent bed growth comparison. First off, the succulent bed. I’m pretty thrilled with how this has turned out, even if it’s still only half done. (The unfinished half isn’t pictured, for obvious reasons). In July last…… Continue reading A succulent update (succulupdate?)
Tuesday night Bunnings trip
Just a quick post tonight to show off my new purchases! I got paid this evening and decided to celebrate by going to Bunnings… because how else would you celebrate?

I could write a whole post on…… Continue reading Days off are better spent in the garden
My first Fairy Garden
For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive a bunch of plant and garden-related goodies. My friends and family know me well. My favourite plant gift was a fairy garden set. My *first* fairy garden set! Yay. I’d always seen them in the shops but had never bought one for myself (and probably never would…… Continue reading My first Fairy Garden
Winter blues (a quick update)
Hi all, sorry for my absence over the past couple of months. I’ve been moving house and have finally settled into my new place. The yard is chaos – huge and overgrown but I’m slowly working my way through it and creating a place I want to be for the next … however long. I’ve…… Continue reading Winter blues (a quick update)
Strawberries in Containers
I love strawberries, but they’re usually expensive and you never know how they’re going to taste. Unless, of course, you grow them yourself. So that’s what I’ve done. All it took was 8 strawberry plants (4 different varieties) and 3 containers. For the containers, I used a milk crate that I found and lined with…… Continue reading Strawberries in Containers
