  1. Double infusion today. @deadnettlez inspired me to start a roselle oil infusion. I didn’t even realize this was a thing. The plant’s antioxidant properties make it great for hair and skin, apparently. I mean, I think I care more about the fact that it makes the oil #pink than anything else. I’m using coconut oil as my carrier. On the right, another batch of sun tea. #roselle #zone10 #TropicalPlants #HerbalRemedies #plants

  3. With the recent frosts my #Roselle & #JerusalemArtichoke plants are no more.

    We do have loads of seeds from the Roselle, so we’ll do them again & we have a huge amount of chokes to eat. 👍

    The only thing still going is my #PinkPanther #DragonFruit.

  4. Our #Roselle plants have given us all the #calyces we’ll see for awhile I think.

    We now have lots of #seeds. 🤗

    #gardening

    With the temperature up to 10° Celsius now, we’ve given the #alpacas & #lambs another feed & cleaned & refilled their water troughs.

    I did the feeding, my better half did the watering.

  5. #Roselle bushes have #calyces (the protective layer around the flower) which can be used to make #jams, #sauces, & #teas, and are known for their tart, cranberry-like flavour. This one of my Roselle is getting dozens of them. #gardening

  6. @frogglin

    We have had some #bigwinds come through.

    Our #OxHeart tomato & it’s pot are down on the ground & one of the smaller #roselle plants is lying down IN its pot.

    I’ve staked the Roselle back up - its trunk is thicker than my thumb - and yet it was blown flat!

    Mutter mutter #gardening

  7. 34° Celsius & I’m down.

    I’ve been #hydrating all day, taking #electrolytes with some of my water, but I go outside, give the #alpacas & #lambs some lucerne, then water the #Roselle & #JerusalemArtichoke - the next minute liquids are #spewing (the operate word) out of my mouth & I lose all sense of balance.

    Naked under the fan now, a bucket beside me if more liquid wants to rush up my throat.

    Where’s our rain?! Mutter mutter #auspol #gardening

  8. Outside for the first time today.

    Neither leg is feeling great but no massive amount of pain.

    I went to get water for the #Roselle bushes & tripped with a full load in the watercan.

    Luckily(?) our brick letterbox broke my fall.

    Ouch! I think that’s me for #gardening today.

  9. A #Batman #tvseries style shot of the #Roselle pots with the #artichokes behind them.

    The tiny little Roselle was in the same lot of seedlings as the rest!

    The Roselle seedling I grew from seed is larger than it is.

    It seems to have root problems. When it’s been repotted it has only a tiny ball of roots each time.

    I’ve given it up for dead several times. 🤕

    It’s in the same potting mix as the others… ? Advice anyone?

  10. The #alpacas & #lambs have been fed & watered.

    The 2 new #Roselle flowers are ready for their day in the sun.

  11. #Roselle #flower

    It’s here!

    We would have posted earlier but we had a minor #emergency with #Chaser the #alpaca.

    He got caught up in some fencing wire & we had to catch him to get him untangled.

    Some arsehole threw the wire over into our back lot at some point & Chaser discovered it this morning.

    Sigh.

    He’s fine, but was a little freaked. He must have become tangled after I went to rest my knees.

  12. Less than 12 hours between first & last photo of the #Roselle #flower.

    I’ll check on it again in a few hours, I’m resting my knees.

  13. Things are moving very fast!

    The same #Roselle flower after we finished breakfast. #gardening

  14. I came out to feed the lambs & alpacas & saw our first #Roselle flower! 🤗

  15. I was repotting my #Roselle seedlings early last week & got out one of my #opinel folding knives to open a bag of potting mix.

    I sliced away & at the end of the bag the opined lock opened & the knife folded!

    It went right under my right index finger nail!!

    I immediately put antiseptic on the painful cut & put a bandaid over the top of the finger.

    No problems until this past weekend when I started getting pain from my finger matched to my pulse.

    No redness & looks fine, but very painful.

  16. My #solar #watches are outside for a charge.

    They’ll be sharing a pot with one of my #roselle #seedlings. :)

    My 2 solar watches outside for charging. A #Seiko #PADI #prospex 200m dive watch & a G-Shock GST-B500D. #GShock

  17. The #Roselle #seedlings are still alive. I guess they’ve acclimatised to their new home now - the recent hot days & cold nights had me worried though. #Rosella

  19. The raggedy roselle plants that always look on the verge of quitting because I keep forgetting it dries out the fastest of all my plants and still haven't figured out the exact growing conditions it prefers...I noticed flower buds on one plant.
