I Finally Eat My Pineapple - A Walk Through My Garden

Daisy's

Lavender

Like little stars.

King Parrots in my front arden. I was sitting in my office and managed to get some reat shots of my little visitors. Such brilliant red and green colours.

Isn't this just so beautiful. Delicate. Gorgeous.

Black Eyed Susan all along my front fence

Red Geranium

More Daisy's in my rock garden

Parsley on my kitchen bench

My shallots are flowering - it looks like seeds - does anyone know if I can collect these seeds and grow more shallots from them?

Rosemary

The rosemary has a little blue flower on it as well.

The coriander has gone to seed. Can anyone tell me please when I pick them. Should I pick them while they are still green or should I wait for them to go brown?

More coriander flowering and going to seed.

My pineapple is HUGE and has started to change colour. It is turning orange from the bottom up. It is so heavy that is is on a lean on the plant. I have had to cage it so the possums do not get it before I do. I have to go away for a few days and I am concerned that it will ripen in the next few days while away so I think I will pick this and let it finish ripening inside my home.

Flowering native shrub. I think it might be a type of wattle. I don't know. All I know is that these little shrubs are all around the place and the yellow is so brilliant. Gorgeous.

I pick the pineapple in the early morning. Still in PJ's.

Such a huge pineapple. Everyone is looking forward to a slice.

And it tastes SOOOO GOOD. perfect, juicy, summery and I now have another plant starting to flower. Next season I will get two pineapples and the year after I have about 6 that will all get fruit on at about the same time. That's when I will learn all about preserving them.
