My day

[freddie*rooster]

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

I succeeded in  hand weeding about 9 square metres of bindi-eye from the front lawn today and plan to finish about the same sized area tomorrow.   I had missed the timeframe of poisoning them.  But I timed it well for weeding as there were no dried prickles yet.

I am diminishing the lawn area by half this year and planting some grasses and red hot pokers to continue a 'bushy/native' low maintenance theme.

I enjoyed listening to the king parrots, finches and magpies (and watching the soldier birds taking their daily ablutions) 

Love this time of year.

Haha I daren't ask Freddie

[lloydslights]

Greencat, is there a special motorbike training course that he can attend?  He may be a responsible person but naive about trusting other road users.

I can understand the "freaking mum" syndrome.  I think that if he does the course, you won't need to freak as much.

Tell him  that you  love him, and to take care every time he goes for a ride.  These words will become his conscience . It will help guide him as he experiences this "freedom".

So true Deb, bike riders may ride carefully but it's the car drivers they need to second guess.

I have potted plants to put in yet

i don't understand the pot plant on a garden bed set-up, i think they'd be higher maintenance (watering etc)

reckon i would've just planted them straight in the ground

[debra9275]

They would be higher maintenance. But some people like keeping plants in pots so they can move them around

Really like the pebbles, nice 'n clean 'n freash looking, well done Fredie 🙂   Are you going to plant the plants into the garden or leave them in their pots? 

[freddie*rooster]

Those azaleas in the small pots sitting on the pebbles will be transplanted into larger pots.

It's still at the sit it there, no sit it here, no we will plant that, no hang on sit it there
