Hanging tomato

I am trying a hanging tomato this year to see how it goes. It is a cherry tomato so the fruit won't be heavy. I have purchased a plant forom Palmer's Garden centre for $1.99 and using a hanging basket system I purchased from The Warehouse for $9.99.
I have planted the tomato plant up the "regular" way at present to let it settle in its new home and for the roots to get strong to hold it when I tip it upside down and hang it up.
We will see how it goes.
This is a photo of it just planted.

The Garden

The garden is all ready for planting my seedlings and plants.
All that is in there at present is lupin which we planted over winter and will leave in the garden at present.
The netting around the garden keeps the cats out!

Our beautiful day

It has been such a lovely spring day here today - the beach was amazing.


More photos

I just went to put the washing out and found the tulip wide open so had to take a couple of photos of it. I am so pleased with it - it is the first tulip I have ever grown.

The Tulip Is Here

This was waiting for me this morning when I got up! It is beautiful. I will take another photo hopefully tomorrow when it is out a bit more - and without the netting over it.

Tulip and freesia update

Here they are a few days ago growing really well - as you can see I have my first tulip. I am just waiting to see what colour it is going to be - it is hinting at a redish colour I think.
