🍅 Today is Tomato Day for us - the first of the seedlings are going in the ground… this little plant is Little Red Riding Hood, a bush variety with tiny snack size fruits - I am planting it against a half-height trellis just for some added support but these can grow in pots with minimal fuss! We will have this variety plus many, many more tomatoes at the Late Spring Show next month!:.

🪶 The Aussie Bird Count begins today - if you ever speak to me in person at a market event, I will often tell the story about our front garden and the role it plays in my inspiration with my art work.
We live in a rental property that was full of Yukka plants; thankfully we got permission from the owner to remove the majority of them and plant out a variety of wonderful natives.
To our delight, the planting out of correa, kangaroo paw, tea tree, billy buttons and other natives - has meant the return of some of the most wonderful bird life.
I first noticed the Eastern Spinebill - hard to miss with their long beak and flitting behaviour. The larger Wattle birds have also been spotted, perched on larger branches and sucking the nectar out of flowers. The Silver Eye were the ones that really caught my attention though - I had noticed the Billy Button flowers getting hammered by aphids and having some odd scaring on the stems; after watching the plants for quite awhile, I noticed the behaviour of the Silver Eyes - whilst they were sometimes snapping the stems of the flowers, they were actually there for a flippin’ good reason: eating the aphids and other bugs!
It is pretty wonderful - being able to pause your busy life for 5, 10 or 15 minutes - and watch with a close eye, the happenings in the other areas of life.
Head to for more information on how to join in on the count.:.

💕 Everlasting Daisies - they’ve been a bit slower to bloom this Spring, but here they come! These plants were planted in autumn, hunkered down over winter and put on some great growth in the last month or so. The Silvery Rose seems to be the first colour to bud up, followed by Salmon Rose.:.

🌱 The Planty Life 🌱
• We are two plant lovers, combining our obsession to create a bloomin’ great Planty experience.
• We have separate primary businesses but we often collaborate creatively and share the workload when it comes to seed sowing and plant raising.
• It made sense to us both to make something of our surplus, with a passion for sharing the beauty of growing in your own garden.
• Our main focus is cut flowers, but we do love to grow vegetables and herbs, so these will also appear at our seasonal events.
• We are proud members of the and appreciate the welcoming the Society has given us, plus the room to explore and expand The Planty Life.
🌱 We hope to get Planty with you soon!

😎 Flashback to this time last year - our very first The Planty Life sale! Humble beginnings, right?
Thankful for my parents lending their driveway to us for that event, thankful for Mother Nature turning the weather on, thankful to our wonderful friend Kate for taking these beautiful photos, thankful for every single person who came along and loaded their boxes up with our plants!
It would have been lovely to commemorate this memory with our event this weekend, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be.
Our November event will be wonderful - so pop the dates in your calendar: 9th & 10th November.:.

🦋 I had a little chuckle the other day with my flower pals, about age, technology and doing things accidentally: photo stickers, have you made any by accident on your phone? I made my first accidental one of our new furry family member 🐈 whilst trying to zoom in on the actual photo … then Jess sent one she made by accident of a beautiful dahlia - and now here we are, filling up our phones with flower stickers made from our photos. What a time to be alive 😝 :.
