24.01.2022 Zucchini Sap testing - Sap analysis shows plant mineral levels and highlights nutritional deficiencies and excesses before they cause any damage. #hortusrocks #plantnutrition #zucchini

24.01.2022 Sweet scented Mac flowers make scouting a pleasure! Macadamia flower caterpillar (Cryptoblabes hemigypsa).

16.01.2022 Citrus australasica, the Australian Finger lime or caviar lime. I can confirm that they are incredibly thorny shrubs, but that the fruit contains little balls of citrusy heaven! #firstfingerlime #nativespecies #aussuperfood #everydayisanadventure #drytissuetest #laboftricks
