Sunday Market Shopping

Today was unseasonably cold. We are 1 week away from the official start of Summer and we had snow on the Brindabella's last night. It was cold and rainy today. While we were out going to the markets we could see the snow on the mountains. Well, I suppose it made it feel like Christmas to us. 

The Kingston Markets are only open on Sunday's and we go every so often. The markets mostly have people selling things that they have made, such as, pottery, hand spun yarns, jewelry, clothes, paintings, and a couple of fresh veggie and fruit vendors, a lady who makes lovely bagels, people selling plants, and almost anything else you might think of.

Today there were fresh cherries. They are just lovely and I had to share. So here they are:

Tea Tree is Blooming

Leptospermum 'Rhiannon' - Tea Tree
My Tea Tree plant is in bloom. It is beautiful. I am going to try and propagate new plants by cuttings and seeds. This variety is a hybrid and using the seed may produce a slightly different plant. I suppose it would be like Surprise Gardening. 

We have also gotten the veggie patch growing. The spring onions and tomatos are doing really well. The fruit tree's are covered in fruit. We have started a Pineapple plant. I put in a Curry Plant. The Curry Plant smells SO GOOD! Just a wonderful smell.

The roses are blooming and strawberries are coming in.  Yummy.
