January 2022 Garden News

Back to blogging after a break.

Of course, December we were still cleaning up after the 19th ‘Open Garden’ and then our family came down from Agnes Water to spend Christmas with us.

As usual both son’s and their families came for Christmas Seafood lunch followed by pavlova, lovingly decorated by the Grandchildren. 






So, very little time to do anything in the garden.

Caladiums this year have been fantastic.






As usual the Heliconia rostrata put's on a show.


Medinilla miniata flowered well.


If bought a new photo program (In Pixo) and these are some of the background removal results.







January, our first project was to go to Jacobs Well to build a patio cover for Genny Catlin as hers fell down.


I am having to mow our lawns twice a week due to the good rainfall we have had.

I am a bit out of sorts at the moment as I have had two teeth (front and eye tooth) surgically removed and an implant in with one more implant to go. No sure who is in the most pain, me or my bank account.

I will get back to the garden as soon as I feel better, there’s a lot of cleaning up to be done as the gum trees are losing their bark and leaves at the moment and they are blowing everywhere.

It’s the untidiest and most messy time of the year in the ‘Giving Garden’.

We had a reasonable Mango crop but the birds, possums and flying foxes had their share also.


Sleepy Lizards are out of hibernation and they just love these biscuits.


We have this wonderful Sulphur Crested Cockatoo which sits on the roof gutter and swarks until he gets food put on the feed table, you can get close enough to hand feed him.
