I went into work on Friday for some meetings.
I met Lindsey and Freyja for lunch on Thursday and then went for a potter in Daiso. I actually made it to the Japanese class in the evening. It was a bit disconcerting to find that the sensei was a young male. I don't think I've ever had a male Japanese teacher before.
I went to a Garden Group meeting on Saturday morning. The bloke from Grow Garden had come to hep us sort out the bed with the edible natives in it. It was very overgrown and people were a bit wary of getting in and weeding it because we are none of us experienced with edible native plants and also didn't know what to do about the self-invited celery and parsley growing in that bed (Answer - pull them out and eat them; we have lots of celery and parsley in the non-native beds).

Lindsey and I met Matt, Belinda, Sage and Will in the Quarterhouse for lunch on Sunday. Freyja and Simon couldn't come because Simon was racing Puffing Billy in Belgrave . Belgrave is not especially handy for the Quarterhouse!
I went back out to Bunnings on Wednesday and got some potting mix and a few other bits and pieces. I've potted on my little lemon tree, which has lots of flowers. I have also planted a rhizome of ginger (in a separate pot!). My herbs and tomato plant seem to be very happy. I pruned the Roma tomato plant back a few weeks ago. It is shooting out new branches and also has a couple of flowers. I have no idea why it is still thriving. It really should have died over the winter. But on it goes. I know it's a bit early but I am also going to sow some cherry tomato seeds. My winter garden behaves much like a heated greenhouse, so all might be well. And if not, I will learn from the experience - and sow some more in another few weeks.
