Colorful Virginia Creeper

The Virginia Creeper in our back garden is turning a  vivid shade of red now that Autumn is upon us. This vigorous grower did well this year with Melbourne's huge rainfall in February (167mm in our rain gauge). I expect the creeper will fill the gaps on the wire mesh in the next couple of growing seasons.

Great crop of tomatoes
Our tomato plants on the right side of the photo yielded 17 kg of large tomatoes this year, again probably due to the great rainfall and the fact that this year is the first time we fed our tomatoes with Potash. Most other people we talk to had a very poor yield from their tomatoes this year, and they had a similar amount of rain on their gardens, so it seems that Potash increases the amount of fruit.
