Well, I managed to be quite restrained at the Plant Fair - I bought Ruby Red Grapefruit and Tahitian Lime trees to add to my collection, plus a little nasturtium. I like plants that are pretty and edible!
And as of today, the sacrificial plants have not been eaten - woohoo! So hopefully our possums have decided to stay away. This week will be the time to plant out my tomatoes, plus some more bits a pieces. I think we’ll use the cage for our seedlings, just to make sure, but take the chance with the other plants.

After my ride to the gym this morning, I faced a much nicer task - going down to the organic nursery at the Northey Street City Farm and buying us a few new trees.
We’ve got a Macadamia nut, a white Mulberry, and a Lemonade fruit. Yum! I’m hoping the Mulberry, being a fast fruiter, will give us fruit within a year or two, and boy am I looking forward to it.
When I was little we had an old Mulberry tree on our property, and I used to love ferreting around in there and eating the warm fruit straight off the tree. Good memories 
I’ll be starting these little guys off in pots, and perhaps planting them out when we buy our own place.
But they will have company…
