Last year I thought the problem was I put them in too late. 
So they went in much earlier this year. 
It's rained almost every day now for well over a week, perhaps 2, so things did not bode well.
However, fingers crossed, these little beauties are a sign of good things to come.
I suspect they are considered "untidy".
Still, we've been adding flowers here and there in a desperate attempt to bring on the bees. 
We've even let the herbs go straight to flower/seed, rather than pick of the first flush or two of flowers, because I read that bees like herb flowers. 
I don't know if bees like Solomon's Seal. 
But this little fellow does. 
This is the new double dragon wisteria, it won't be bee-attracting this year, but look at it go! 
That's about three-weeks from being a stick in the ground.
We took it in and hung it on the wall this afternoon. Then I took some fancy pens and post it notes from the desk drawer (left over from the last office inhabitant, now commonly referred to as "the arse-hole") and we came home in the pouring rain.
Our not-so-lovely tomato crop.
It's my fault, I planted late, we should just be harvesting the stragglers now.
Instead the glut, so eagerly anticipated, is just rotting on the vine.
I'm marking the calendar for next time. 
I intend for us to be eating the glut as a celebration of the new year, next year.
Lovely, non?
Ten little blue banded bees all in a row.
This totally makes up for those ghastly, stringy, pink-flower bushes attacking me every morning. 
As you can see, they changed spots during the "shoot", some of that wild leg waving ensued.
I wish I could find a dress in these colours.
... I'm over it.
Like totally dude.
Also, am frightened of getting Rupert wet.
This this evening it was apple, carrot, capsicum and tomato. 
Of course, because of the cold, I'm wondering out loud if Mr Possum would appreciate some nice hot porridge.
Also, I've spotted him out the window and dashed out into the rain to say hello.
And THIS is why you don't mess with Mr Poss.
