Gave them a good drink (and it promptly started raining) also Yates
said they need fertilising,


they only say that so you'll buy yates fertiliser ;-). bit of blood & bone

Now some good buds ready to flower, but unfortunately only in afternoon
sun, little there is of it in Sydney at present.


really, hold onto your hat until spring. it's all fine!
