I've got this vague recollection of saying that this could be the year I didn't kill the zucchini plant. Spoiler alert: it's taken over the garden. AND EVEN GROWN ZUCCHINI .

Moonflower! On its fourth life.

So that's what is eating the spinach.

Could this be the year the zucchini plant survives?

I am so confused by this plant.

Zucchini/courgette seedling coming up. Another year, another attempt at zucchini.

Spaghetti squash flower. No actual squash yet as something keeps eating the wilted flower buds (plus there's probably pollination issues or something, I don't know really).

Spinach. It nearly died in the move but has since come back.

The cat came back. I'm having a dilemma about what to plant next. Zucchini maybe? Chives? Plus I'm out of potting mix, which means walking further carrying something heavy, which would normally be fine but I'm a bit hungover this morning and the kitchen wall is unusually comfortable. Can't lean on it all day I suppose

There's a handful of elderly cats that live in our street and routinely show up at the front door, demanding admittance. This is one of them.

Spaghetti squash flower.

I was just pulling out some onion weeds in the back bit near the bins when a biggish redback spider crawled out of the corner. I always have a bit of a dilemma with actual, poisonous spiders - the golden orbs and leaf spiders are fine, even the huntsman are okay provided they don't attempt to take up residence on the ceiling directly above my bed. But redbacks? Argh, I don't know. I ended up lacquering this one in fly spray and feeling guilty about it. I was worried it'd take up residence on the bins and someone would get a chomp putting then out - unlikely I know. There must be a better way, hm.

Spaghetti squash - I don't know if it will survive the impending summer humidity. Spraying 1 part milk to 9 parts water on the leaves is meant to help with mildew...

Capsicum plant. Not dead! Also not producing capsicums yet.

Asparagus. I have my doubts - I think they're planted too close together, Sydney's probably got the wrong climate and they take two years or so to mature? That said, I'm willing to be persistent.

Silverbeet - success! I'm really happy with this, it's going gangbusters and tastes great too.
