My day

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

wow that is stunning Amber

Try to get a good sniff of it in flower and see what it does. It's flowering now, so if it is sold near you, give it a test out before you plant any. Just had a google and it seems to affect some people but not others.

it is a vine by nature so easily trained where you want it to go, and easy to cut back too.

What about a passionfruit vine.  It would look lovely there and the fruit is beautiful.

Good idea re "sniffing" 🙂

There is a passion fruit vine growing on the side of the shed, it seems to cope ok, but I guess it doesn't get some shelter as well

It doesnt do much seems to have two different plants growning together, am thinknig one is the rogue plant from the rootstock, tried to get rid of it but it seems to have re grown

If you plant a few along, it will grow pretty fast. Had a bit of frost here and it was fine, the leaves did turn a little red in places. It also doesn't lose its leaves so stays pretty all year. I would talk to the staff where it is sold in your area, they should be able to tell you if it will work out during your winter.

Passionfruit is a good thought, Joono

Maybe not.  Frost could be a problem

Good morning ladies.

Joono, as I was reading, I thought of a passionfruit vine as well but climbing roses would look great as well bushie.  I think Amber has the right idea with the jasmine keeping it in a pot.  Unless you keep pruning them, they can go beserk.

Our garden is also getting a nice drop of rain.  Nothing like natural rain for the garden.

Did anyone else's parents plant a liver under their passionfruit.  I guess it would act similar to blood and bone.  We done it when we were in our house and had a very healthy productive vine - don't know if it was coincidence.  We have just planted one here at our unit so it will be interesting as we didn't do it this time.

I have just paid $46 for a lilac bush.  I have always loved lilac and we removed a couple of box hedges we planted to cover up the air con but that has been moved.  It is going great guns.

Have a great day everyone ...

Good morning 🙂

I did think about a climbing rose,I think I posted a pic of the one my neighbour has growing our the boundary fence. The main prob with roses is that it would be bare during the winte rmonths and I would prefer something more permanent.

Wow Sandy your Lilac sounds lovely, they are a favourite of mine as well. re planting liver under the passionfruit vine, the hounds would love that lol.  Not sure if you saw my post re the rouge vine running through my passionfruit vine, any suggestions?

Hi bushie - I don't remember that post but would it be the vine they grafted the passionfruit onto.  If it is, I would cut it out right back to where the passonfruit is grafted onto it.  I have to cut back some of my standard roses when they shoot from the bottom as it is the root stock they used.  I also notice a lot of the roses in unit 1 are flowering an old red rose that must have been the root stock. 

Lightly raining here but about to go for my walk with my coat and umbrella.   Shame really, the santa parade is here today.   Catch ya's ...
