I'm still like a kid at Christmas when I look around the garden or the olive grove and spot something I planted from seed or have followed since it appeared out of nowhere.

This Queensland bottle tree is one of my proudest attempts from seed. I think I even had to drop the seed in boiling water to kickstart it. It's only 60 CMS tall at the moment but give it 50 years...

That and watching a pollinated squash emerge as a tiny blob and three days later just appears by magic the size of a football.
