Joss's hollyhocks are going in today (not a great germination rate yet - these came up very early.) They're going under the olive trees to start with,, and when I know what colour they are (in a year or two) the others might go in by the front door :)
Today is Tuesday, which is Water The Raspberries day. The little sweetpeas I put in as Jonathon suggested by Paul's office are on their way up (I'll water them, too) but there is still no sign of the beans. At least - there is - they're just lying there, being beans. Those climing tomatoes, on the other hand are sprouting up among the stones. I'm going to rescue a coupls just in case the others drown under the lucerne mulching we did.

Paul handspread 100 k of gypsum on the lawns (400sqm) - and watered it in.
We hear there are nasty fires in Sydney, and temps of 30+. Here it's windy and warm, but pleasant. Our yellow Builder told us not to light any fires, though. I think he suspects that we're stupid city people. He's probably right.
