Early in the month we had a big bus load of visitors from
Caloundra Garden Club. Even though it was winter and a lot of plants were in
their dormant phase everyone said how much they enjoyed the garden. They were a
nice bunch of gardeners and we enjoyed hosting them.
One garden presentation this month and that was a return
visit to Logan City Garden Club where I gave my ‘Bizarre and Beautiful
Botanicals’ presentation.
Judy had a scare when she went into hospital for her second
operation on her Rheumatoid Arthritis, the found an irregularity with her heart
and she had to see a heart specialist, result being she now has a heart pacemaker
inserted. Then she had a fall and broke her top rib, not a good month for Judy.
We went to see Marie Jones garden ‘Lindmar’ situated at
Morayfield, it was a nice garden and worth the trip out there.
Finally some good rain it was badly needed as most of our
seven tanks were empty.
Still not enough to fill all of our tanks with three still
empty I am not complaining as any bit of rain is welcome to fall in our garden.
Still working hard in the garden with another garden
refurbished with new soil and plants, I really think the garden is going to
look magnificent for November’s opening.
I had promised my son Scott that I would build him garden
beds this year and after finding a great looking border block that would
compliment his home I started, my main aim was colour and flowers for the children plus easy maintenance as
Scott is in a wheelchair.
I think I achieved that with borders of miniature agapanthus
then a selection of croton’s and cordylines behind.
Our Carambola’s are into their second crop this year and are
absolutely loaded with fruit, usually I have trimmed them by now but will have
to wait until the crop has finished.
Looking forward to next month’s Garden Expo at Nambour, we
go every year and really enjoy it, get to buy some plants and meet a lot of
gardening friends and acquaintances.
