I’ve been road tripping around the bottom of Victoria, Australia. No reception, no phones, no internet. 🥰 This is Wilsons Promontory, the southernmost place in mainland Australia. Absolutely beautiful and untouched. #australia #roadtrip #naturalbeauty #untouched #victoria #bushland #nationalpark

There’s something very cool about serving up a meal from your own vege patch. Not a great pic but a delicious feed! 🍅🤤 #bruschetta #tomatoes #vegepatch #vegetablegardening #australiangardening #gardeningau

Tobacco Cutworm… I knew you’d appear in my vege patch at some point. I was ready. #caterpillar #vegetablegardening #gardeningau #gardenpests #vegepatch #gardening

I was getting a bit worried about my strawberries. All leaf, no flowers. A dose of potash and viola! 😍🍓 #strawberries #gardening #vegetablegardening #vegepatch #gardensky #australiangardening

Sword Lily (Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora) is a striking bulbous plant native to France. Sadly it’s an invasive weed here in Australia. It’s highly adaptable and out competes native plants in Aussie bushland. ❌🙅‍♀️ #gardening #weed #weeds #australiangardening #gardensky #flowers #gardeningaus

This fellow is guarding my tomato plants here in Sydney. 🙌 I’ve been trying to identify him with no luck. He wouldn’t let me get a shot from above. Any ideas? #spider #spiders #gardening #gardens #australiangardens

Laurentia ‘Pop n Fizz’. A small, mound shaped Australian native that is covered in masses of purple flowers over the Summer months. Great name for a great plant. 💜 #gardening #wildflowers #australiannatives #gardeningaus #gardensky

Quite odd… Just one tomato suffered from Blossom End Rot. The rest of the crop on all plants are perfectly fine. 🤔🍅 #vegetablegarden #tomatoes #vegepatch #gardening #growingvegetables

More Grevillea spam. They just stop me in my tracks. This one I came across in the Sydney suburb of Kensington. #gardening #australiannatives #nativeflowers #gardeningaus #gardensky #grevillea #plantsky

Another dainty Australian native - Pink Rice Flower (Pimelea ferruginea). Very pretty when in flower. Can get a bit leggy if not pruned from a young age. #gardening #australiannative #gardeningau #wildflowers #gardensky #plantsky #riceflower
