Plenty of
tree and shrub trimming and cutting, this is always a big winter job with four
Carambolas, one Mango, five Jaboticabas, five Grumichama’s, Custard Apples and
various shrubs.
Plenty of
loads to the dump as my Composting areas are quite full.
I am trying
to lower the height of several of the fruit tree to make it easier to trim in
the future as I am not getting any younger.
We went
back to Genny Catlin’s and finished off putting up the shade cloth.
We had
three garden presentations booked for June but I had to cancel one of them or
rather it was cancelled for me as the club wanted me to reduce my presentation
from 45 minutes to 25 minutes. I just cannot do that as it would destroy the
whole idea of my talk.
Anyway, we
went one evening to New Farm to give a Presentation to the ‘Brisbane Bromeliad
Society’ then the following week to ‘The Gap Garden Club’, all really enjoyed
my ‘Aroids and Colour’ presentation.
The only
problem was driving through Brisbane’s traffic, don’t really care for that sort
of driving anymore.
Judy has
had a bumper crop of rare Anthurium seeds and these have done well in her
hothouse.
Judy is at
her happiest propagating.
There are
going to be some fantastic plants available if we can open in November.
The last
Sunday of the month was a Cordyline meeting at Rochedale, as usual a bunch of
great people there and for the first time ever I won first prize in the raffle
which was a large bag of fertilizer.
