Garden Blog from April to July 2025

 

I just do not seem to get enough time in the day to write a monthly blog these days, I am pretty tired after working in the garden almost every day and this year has been especially hard as we have has so much rain that everything has grown so much that I am continually cutting back to let light into the garden.

I had my 80^th Birthday in April, how did I ever get to that age?

We had a few nights in an apartment at Mooloolaba as we needed a break from the garden as there had been a very large clean up after Cyclone Albert. It was nice and we see our friends at Natrakelp and Maureen Simons at Mt Towen Tropicals were we bought quite a few new plants.

April was quite wet so not much hand watering had to be done.

In May we had a bus visit from Caloundra Garden Club, Jimboomba Garden Club and Bethania Community Garden members.

In June we welcomed the Budding Group to the garden as well as hosting the international Cordyline Society meeting, a garden presentation to Logan Garden Club and a bus visit from Aspley Garden Club.

Possum beat me to it.

In July we went to Agnes Water to see family then they followed us back to Brisbane.

While we were away a mini-Cyclone ripped through and caused some damage.

We then hosted a bus visit from Laidley Garden Club of 59 people.

Towards the end of month we went to see our friends Genya and Peter at lagoon View Nursery, it is beautiful and well worth a visit.
