Unexpected...



Recently we've been planting seeds and seedlings around the house to see what happens. Only natives so far- hardy local species that can grow in these tough conditions. We've also continued to water the plants that popped up after the last rain.

We reuse as much water as we can- all of our washing machine water goes out in the garden, as well as our dish water.

We noticed this little plant that had popped up just past the carport. Dave said, "It looks like a tomato plant" and we laughed about the idea of a tomato plant surving in the pindan, without water, without being eaten by kangaroos, emus, rabbits and everything else.

Guess what we saw this morning? A tomato. It is a tomato plant. It must have sprung up from a seed in the dishwashing water!
