The Garden of Woz...

[Whwoz]

Got stuck into the long grass today, have griped and ripped most of it out, still a bit to go yet though. Have a pile about 5 feet high ready to become compost.

Even found that the grapes are alive and doing well

You did some hard work! The results of it sure do show which makes it very rewarding.

The second of the self sown pansies has flowered for the first time and it's a spitting image of one of the original 6 which was the first to die, the others are still going fabulously

Beautiful pansies! Around here they're used a lot as a fall planting as they are so cold tolerant. And for both spring and fall plantings some people plant a line of parsley behind the pansies. It's a really pretty combination with the color up against that ferny green!

I have about 4 tomato plants that have come up as self sown in the compost bins. Picked a few yesterday

Roma type is USDA 97L97, some Violet Jasper's and a couple I am not sure about

[GoDawgs]

Let us know how they taste; better, worse or no different than the originals planted. Inquiring minds want to know.

[Whwoz]

Well the grubs have not objected @GoDawgs

[Whwoz]

The young citrus trees are starting to flower and the bees are giving them the once over, maybe that should be a mugging, should be good for pollination at least. Not the greatest photos, too breezy for the phone camera

Meyer lemon, will need to keep an eye on them and probably thin the fruit clusters

Not unusual to see a bee on each flower in a cluster, not sure how much necter or pollen that they are getting

Going to be a few days yet before I can give you an honest opinion @GoDawgs , still learning to drive a set of false fangs, had to happen at some stage unfortunately

My sympathies @Whwoz . I just had an old wisdom tooth out, so heartily agree, nothing worse than dental recovery time. Hope it works out well.
