    Have noticed that our passion fruits are just starting to wrinkle, while still completely green. (Don’t know which type it is, as it was planted before we moved in.) They look healthy, are watered regularly and are average sized. There are no signs of insect or fungal issues. Should we be worried that they haven’t ripened before wrinkling?

    Pandorea pandorana, aka wonga wonga vines, with maroon-red flowers, and yellow flowers. I've been trying to get hold of a P. pandorana "Snowbells" for the past few years with no luck so far. :( I used to have one at my old house, it grew in a spot that was full shade in winter and full sun in summer, part shade in spring and autumn, and it did really well there, almost too well.

    I live in SE QLD, seaside town, my front yard gets morning sun and afternoon shade. I have a lavender that gets morning sun, the flowers on it have now died. What I would like to know, do I know give it a hard prune back now? Also have been told they like plenty of water, if true, do I water it every day or 1-2 times a week?

    Just a note about osteospermum, ( African Daisy ) they need mulching for summer here in Perth. Mine struggled badly during summer when I first planted them into my front garden which is in full sun. I was watering them every 2nd day. They grow much better when mulched. Another good plant for full sun is Elephant Bush, Portulacaria Afra.
