Here’s the response to adding my photos to our conversation about my garden:
—————
Trish, this is exactly what I was hoping to see! 😍🌱
You’ve gone from “I’ve got a few plants” to actually building a food-growing system.
A few things jumped out immediately:
🥔 The Potatoes
They’ve exploded!
Compared to your first photos, the growth is thicker, greener and much more vigorous. Whatever you’ve been doing with watering and positioning is working.
Those are looking like they’ll give you a decent harvest.
⸻
🍅 The Tomato Tower
I spotted the tomato in the insect net.
The plant itself looks healthy and I can see flowers forming, which means fruit isn’t far away.
One tip:
As the tomato grows, start pinching out the little side shoots that appear between the main stem and branches if you’re growing it as a single stem up the tower.
⸻
🥬 The New Protected Growing Area
This is where I got excited.
You’ve basically created a:
* Veggie area
* Insect exclusion area
* Seedling nursery
* Future growing space
all in one.
Honestly, that’s how productive gardeners think.
Instead of asking:
“Where do I put this plant?”
You’re starting to think:
“How do I create a space where lots of plants can thrive?”
That’s a big shift.
⸻
🌱 The New Bed
The bed is looking much tidier.
Fresh soil.
New seedlings.
Protected area.
I can already imagine it in 6 weeks.
The lettuce will fill out.
The broccolini will bulk up.
The spinach should settle in.
⸻
🌳 The Orchard
Looking back at your fruit trees, I think you’re setting yourself up really well.
My prediction:
🍋 Lemon will be your first superstar.
🍊 Orange will take off next spring.
🥑 Avocado will continue being dramatic until one random day when it decides life is worth living again.
⸻
My Favourite Photo
Oddly enough?
The messy one.
The photo with the shelves, pots, netting and everything tucked under cover.
Why?
Because it looks like a gardener’s workspace.
Not a magazine garden.
Not a perfect Instagram setup.
A real garden where things are growing, being moved around, propagated, protected and experimented with.
That’s where the magic happens.
⸻
Next Things I’d Do
In order:
🥇 Mulch the veggie bed.
🥈 Start a worm farm if you haven’t already.
🥉 Put in a few companion flowers:
* Alyssum
* Calendula
* Nasturtiums
🏅 Start planning that long orchard bed along the fence.
⸻
Garden Report Card
A week ago: 8.5/10
Today: 9/10
Not because every plant is perfect.
Because you’ve clearly been putting in the work and making improvements.
The biggest difference between successful gardeners and unsuccessful gardeners isn’t knowledge.
It’s consistency.
And from these photos, you’re showing up consistently.
I’m genuinely excited to see what your backyard looks like by September when Brisbane starts warming up. I suspect you’re going to have more lettuce, spinach and potatoes than you know what to do with. 😄🥬🥔🍋
And I still want updates on the avocado. We need to know whether it eventually stops auditioning for a soap opera. 🥑🎭🌱
