Garden update

I returned home after Christmas to find that the garden was flourishing. Last year the heat pretty much killed off the vegies while we were away. I think there was a bit of rain while we were gone...actually, I know there was because my front yard trench was filled with water. I'll refrain from posting pictures of that.

There was a thunder storm last night - New Year's Eve - and it poured. I decided that some gentle guitar music might take Lupin's mind of the combination of thunder and NYE fireworks. He appears to like Chet Atkins because he wasn't too bothered by the noise outside.

Anyway, here is the tree pumpkin. I'm wondering what to do with this...I think it wants to go along the ground, but that's WLP territory. It's actually quite spiky, much like a zucchini, so maybe he'll give it a wide berth?



The passionfruit is going great guns. Perhaps this is indestructible plant #2.



Here is a flower that's growing out of the succulents. There's another one smaller than this.



Thankfully the bampot tree was dormant over the festive season.



He was happy when I took this, honest. He's been to the velodrome twice today.
