My wife's brother is a qualified tree guy, he recommended three trees for us about 15 to 20 years ago. A cherry blossom and those two at the back. He said all would only grow 6 ft. He was wrong. The first one is gone, got to about 20 ft. The back two you can see are lucky to still be here. My b.i.l has a history of mucking up. I shouldn't have listened to him,lmao.

Live oak in the back yard. I planted this tree when my grandfather died, in his memory. The trunk is currently 56-inches (142-CM) in circumference.

caseydog and CraigC you might like to know seeds have just popped up, 6 X cerrano chillies and 4 long red cayenne chillies, heaps more due in next week. Wife has already planted store bought chilies but the best are the ones I'm germinating. About 10 different chillies.

Mine are all on the veranda in a 2 tier dog cage to protect them from tbe chooks, rosellas and ask the other native birds that eat seeds, seedlings, grass and grass roots... they get loads of early morning sun through to about 1pm. Then shade. If it's cold or forecast a frost, I pull tbe cage against the house and cover with some old mats.
Right now the kale, peas, broad beans and runner beans are all reaching for the sky and need repotting . That's a job for this weekend when I sow some more seeds.

I have a bumper crop of cayenne. They always do well in my garden. I be giving them away by the handful before we get our first frost -- probably a month away.
