One variety that survived really well in the heat wave was the weeds.

Its amazing how robust weeds are. I never water them or care for them, I
repeatedly destroy them and yet they continue to grow. The bugs don't
seem to worry about attacking them either.

If only we could eat the weeds instead of veges and fruit, and find some
varieties of weeds that have appealing flowers. We could let them grow
naturally and would only need to pull our the odd flower or vege plant
that happened to grow, much easier.

until New Years day in Sydney. 45+degC and the little guy karked it. As
brown as if it had been in the oven. Burnt to a crisp. I've since relocated
it into the shade and have been watering it in the vain hope that it might
recover. I think I need to let it go.


I am waiting to see if my fuchsia survives -- most of its leaves were cooked
-- and this is a mature plant!
