All Things Gardening 🌹

[janeababe]

I’ve only been interested in gardening in the last prob 8 yrs, so, by all means, I’m still learning and I have had many plants die despite me *nursing* them, sometimes, even lovingly 😂…. But such is the life of a plant I guess. 

I’m hoping that on this board, we can share our plant pics, what works, what doesn’t, give some handy hints and some solutions for those hard to grow plants.

I confess, I prefer my plants in pots, and now that I actually have a sort of greenhouse area, I’m loving it immensely.

And to top it all off, I’ve just right now purchased 3 x pink princess philodendrons 💋

Oh Lordy lord….. I’m so excited about these babies. These ones will stay inside with me until they grow a bit stronger.

I've got a compost tumbler, but over winter it was in the shade, and now I'm glaring at it wondering if I will ever see rich dark loamy compost in there.

The soil here is very rocky, so I must improve and enrich and soften and do whatever I can to get it to better condition.

So - you'd like to talk about gardening - OK then. lol

Having bucketed 2 ton of pebbles - this was a likely place for the seated Lady.

Right under the Passionfruit

It's been a wet week :

But I knew she'd still be there. lol

@domino…. Hahahaha…. Oh those damn weeds. They can absolutely take over quick smart.

on a side note, your frangipani is looking a bit sad in that round pot 🙃… might be time to put it in the ground mate. 💋

I actually planted mine into the ground, yesterday.

The little sister in the pot - doing OK and flowering - not quite sure where to put it.

I would love to have a garden, but only have a balcony at the moment... 😑

Hoi - if you aren't busy - I can share a bit of weeding.

With lunch of course. 😂

I have a small pine tree I bought at Bunnings (the instructions were that if not re-potted it would not grow much, which turned out to be true), an aloe vera pot (sometimes I make my own drinks), and another succulent plant that I was supposed to keep indoors but that survived very well on the balcony (there was a plastic tag with the name, but it came off and I don't remember the exact name - it has spikes around its leaves).

I love frangipani flowers. I got a cutting off my sister, and just shoved it in a pot, then ignored it… literally… lol. If it rained, it got watered, basically. 😂

pits doing quite well now. Has a hand full of leaves and went in the ground yesterday. Too little to flower yet.

Plenty of beautiful plants in pots that thrive quite well.  
99% of my garden, is in pots. 
Balconies are great for potted plants. 😊

That frangipani was a cutting from my Mum's - huge - now mine is huge.

I float the dropped flowers - all over the house.

Now in a ' fight ' - for a ' Yellow Magnolia - please see Blokes thread. 🤣

Dealing with than capeable Developers & their idjot lawyers.

Stay tuned.
