Just finished, highly recommended! In alternating chapters, Brooks moves gracefully between the sudden death of her husband in 2019 to a shack on Flinders Island where, a few years later, she went to do the business of grieving. Memorial Days is honest, lyrical and beautifully constructed. It is testament to the old saying, ”the cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.”

Never before have we been able to grow capsicums this late in autumn. Usually by the end of April the weather has cooled enough to slow the plants to a crawl and the foliage is riddled with cercospora disease. Not this year. The times are a changin.

Proud of these lads. They’re off for a few weeks in Japan, their first ever flights and first overseas trip. Considering I’ve never been overseas, that’s saying something! Adventure well, boys! Have an onsen for me.

Another side of autumn. This Shishi Gashira camellia has lived in a pot near our back door for nearly twenty years. It’s a steady companion, asking for nothing more than a bit of water and an occasional pruning. It’s never been repotted, yet puts on a pretty display of flowers every April. Cycles. Rhythm.

It’s been a strange autumn. Cool and damp early on, then warm and dry like a cab sav made from April grapes loaded with tannin. The deciduous trees are leaching sugars to the soil and intensifying their colours but still there’s a whisper of green in the grass, a memory of repeat La Ninas and years of ample moisture. Now, as the daylight wanes and the trade winds shift, an El Nino stalks the Pacific, hungrier than usual for drought and fire. The burning years of 2019/20 haunt me, but I sense something different about this new cycle. Could it be more like birthing than dying? A new paradigm? An opportunity for nurture?

Self sown lettuce for the win! The main variety in this pic is Flame, a Diggers Club offering, but I’m pleased that one of my old favourites, Forellenschluss (speckled trout back), is also fighting for a slice of the solar pie.

Not a huge fan of those poncey overwrought, pastel-hued dahlias? Me neither. Give me simpler, gutsier plants with chocolatey foliage and flowers the colour of blood. Bishop of Llandaff fits the bill.
