This year I planted 24 brassica related plants (broccoli, romanesco, cauliflower, cabbage). No thanks to the local rabbit(s), only 3 plants survived including this cheesy cauliflower.
I notice I am planting more flowers than vegetables, especially in the summer. Flowers seem to survive pests better, handle the heat and use less water. Plus, they are more expensive to buy so I save money on bouquets.

This season’s new, elongated, light green leaves are so different from the older rounded blue green leaves found on the same branch. Possibly Eucalyptus polyanthemos.
This is a wonderful presentation from R. Gale’s garden that is both deep and complex in color and texture. And the “messy-ness” only adds to the allure. Above is Brugmansia (trumpet flower, “Pink Angel”?) forming an umbrella over a bowl of mixed succulents. Look close and see what I else you can identify.
