My day

[freddie*rooster]

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

Actually, both siblings repeated Year 12.  They realized they had better do some studying after all.   

Brother's paperwork is still in the cylinder.  Sisters degrees are hung on the wall to impress people who think they need impressing.

I failed whatever it was in the UK, ended up going back to TAFE, passed all but maths so had to retake that.

It's interesting who puts what up and who doesn't !

Bushie, time to start making friends with the local fencing contractor.

Morning DEB

I had the best success with the seedlings I bought from Woolies, most of the ones I have bought from the local supermarket have died 😞 I have a whole pile of Marigolds a friend grew from seed and kindly gave some to me. They are still in punnets, so I must get them into my garden soon. I want to get away from buying commercial seeds if I can, my neighbour across the road is planting heaps of self sown cosmos atm, so one they have flowered I can get a pile of seeds from her. My sweet peas have finished flowering, so I am saving the seeds from them, dont know if they are sterile or not but time will tell.

Planted a golden diosma about 1 year ago.To contrast with a couple of dark green shrubs either side.''

Other phases:   Palms (argh); golden cypress; and more recently (Yukky) yukkas

I am sure we will find someone who has the equipment we need aps, just havent bothered about it for the moment. When we moved here in Jan, hubs manually dug the holes for this fence, he tells me never again

DEB check out my spuds in the concrete tub, they are really powering now

Two out of 3 of those were on my list.

Pony tail palm
Yukkas - they seem to be flavour of the month at the moment.

I don't know if they're still available.  But my Pa used to save and store seeds in those mustard coloured envelopes. Or brown paper bags.  In the dark, but a dry atmosphere.

By the way, how do you store your Bluebell bulbs?  Mine have just died off and I want them in a different position for next year.

DEB mine are all stored in brown paper bags in the corner of the open shed up the back, cool and dark

One of the Original Hills Hoists !

We had one in one of our gardens here in Aus.

That fence looks child proof
