Poles apart

I killed a succulent.

Everyone claims that succulents are the lazy gardener's boon. They thrive on neglect and look pretty while doing it. Well, mine is dying and making quite a scene doing it too!

Dead Popplet plant

There are two factors at play here:
1. Melbourne was rainy and cold most of the time.
2. All the plants were growing in the ground.

So now, not only do I have to learn how to grow plants in containers, I also have to manage the 40+ temperatures.

Oh well, no one ever said gardening was easy. Bring it on!
