Preparing for spring

I am trying to be in front for spring.
I have sown flowers
and veg
Spring begins in 4 weeks
Today is forecast to be 24 degrees C so it is beginning to warm up.

These are Romanesco Broccoli seedlings, otherwise known as "Cosmic Cauliflower" .
The most amazing looking vegetable!
Next to them are some corn flowers
How's this for a determined plant.
It is growing through a nail hole in the recycled tin. Evening primrose, the true one that flowers in the moonlight and emits a delightful scent. This retaining wall is holding up my circle gardens, it is where I got the original dirt to raise the beds above flood level.
Capsicums, Corriander, Love in the mist, Corn flowers, Polka dots, Parsley, Silverbeet, Spring onions, Marjoram and Dill & Thyme, just to name a few varieties.
I went and checked the Lilliums this morning.
Still no sign of them.
Oh well.
