Given the soaking rain the last few days, winter planting can be brought forward. This is the mint planted in a garden bed.
Below are the plants while still in the pots.
Below is the other garden bed that was intended to be planted with mint, but since the mother mint was purchased it has self sown with Seaside Daisy, and a transplanted oregano has survived, so planting it with mint is on hold.

This plant – Erigeron karvinskianus or Seadside Daisy – has been thriving in a garden bed since 2006, including periods of little water over summer some years. Although not an Australian native, it’s hardiness and ability to provide weed suppressing coverage has led to the decision to plant it in beds nearby. These were purchased and planted 14Nov25 and have settled in well.

The rosemary cuttings were required to deter trespassing cats from using the bed as a toilet 🙄
