Once school starts again (late January/early February for us) there will be heaps of school children just across the road.

@JudyEv We have several varieties of Australian trees here in Florida that are considered invasive and are taking over the local ecosystems. The state has begun an active eradication program to eliminate the Australian varieties and re-introduce native varieties. There's also some varieties from Brazil that are taking over as well.

@moffittjc People never seem to learn that it's not always a good thing to introduce new varieties - of animals or plants.

I know that one of our eucalypts is now considered a pest in California. Serve you right for pinching it.

Yes, I rarely get a good yield of anything. I grew cauliflower last summer, and although the plants looked healthy they never produced any caulifower! Par for the course. I think they probably needed some kind of additive to the soil.

Mostly, I don't think it is worth the bother growing your own vegies. You're always fighting bugs or whatever, and buying sprays and fertiliser, etc.

Your plants all look so healthy here. I hope that they remain that way. I don't find that potting soil goes as far as I'd like it to either when transplanting, those pots hold alot more then we realize they do. I am always careful to try to get pots that aren't too huge as they weigh a ton after repotting.

@JudyEv Yes they will be, and even heavier if the soil is wet. Have Vince lift them for you.

The pots are heavy enough but once you fill them with soil they are even heavier.

Looks great! I've needed to replant in the past. Sadly, that plant didn't last through the move. I bought more when I moved here. We'll see how those go. One is dying, the others are doing well. I even remember to water them.

I have small ones in the window-sill and they sometimes get forgotten. Then I feel guilty and probably over-water them!

plants usually have a tag with information about growing conditions. Some like sun and some like shade. You could look online.

Litres are used for volume, kilos for weight. A 25 kilo bag of potting mix would be quite large.
