Crepe myrtle

The crepe myrtle are still at their best at this time.  I see them when I am driving around in the suburb.
I have a white flowering variety growing in a pot.  On my nature strip there is a mauve one and from my verandah I can see my neighbour's pink variety.

Sweet corn and white squash

a mature cob ready for picking

I bought a pun net of sweet corn seedlings and decided to plant them in pots.  The pots were placed in a very sunny position.  They are doing very well and I shall be picking the mature cobs.

white squash being grown for the seeds

The squash grown for seeds have grown and besides it is a smaller one which I shall pick soon.  A pity that so many of the squash grew to a certain size, turn yellow and drop off.

Sun ripened fruits

Peach

Cox's orange pippin apple and damson plums

A few of the sun ripened fruits from my garden.  Hopefully they will be more plentiful in the future.  The peach tree was attacked by leaf curl mites.  It was too late to do anything so I fed the tree and watered it well and let the affected leaves drop.  It seemed to work.  The few fruits that grew and were not taken by possums and birds were just gorgeous.

Roses

The roses are back.  I cannot label them as I am not very good with remembering names.  Enjoy the colours and shapes.  I love my early morning walk through my garden and also at dusk.  You can see the changes in the colours just from the changes in the lighting.
