Flowers, veggies and bugs

Checked the rain gauge this morning, we've had another 10ml.

Earlier this year I popped into to see an old friends parents and they gave me some cuttings of a catus which I just stuck in the garden above the retaining wall. I had planned to pot them up but I got slack, and it seems they are happy where they are as I have been rewarded with flowers already!



In the veggie patch the mizuna (an asian green) has gone to flower....



Of 6 broccoli I planted only one has formed a head so far....



The broccolini are producing well....



The first of the squash....



and the first of the green zucchini...



and more yellow zucchini.



I also found a few of these beetles on the zucchini leaves



I hope this is a good beetle, not a pest like the 28 spotted ladybirds that keep attacking my potatoes!
