Budswell

It's amazing the flexibility of some plants. The Tatsoi (chinese leafy green) grow right through the year, the scorching heat of summer and even the severe cold and frosts of a mountain winter. What's great though is that the plant grows completely differently throughout the year. In summer its a vigorous upright vegie, while the winter versions are flat to the ground and very distinctively show off their rosette.

Not too long now though before we go back to the tall versions! The daffodils are poking their leaves up and the nectarine's leaves are starting to emerge from their buds. Better enjoy the cool weather now before it's gone!
