Purchases

I have wanted to grow rhubarb for a long time but the prices of adult sizes were a bit discouraging. So when I saw these small punnets of baby size rhubarbs at an affordable few dollars each, I was quick to grab them. Rhubarb Sydney Crimson - a delicious red stemmed variety that is excellent for pies, tarts and jams. The perennial rhubarb is often referred to as the ‘pie plant’ due to its use in pies. A highly productive plant that can be harvested within 6 months. I am hoping to be harvesting by December – February.

Dahlias for some window box colour


Alocasia or 'elephants ears' for inside the house


Perez's sea lavender (Limonium perezii) and purple coneflower (Echinacea)
