At last
enough rain to almost fill all our seven rainwater tanks, overall, we have had
some good follow up rain and what a relief not having to stand and
water for hours on end.
It is
amazing how quickly to garden has responded to the rain although the lawns have
taken a real beating.
So, to say
the least we are happy gardeners at the moment.
We had a
very nice visit to ‘Mt Mee Garden Club’ where I gave a presentation, very nice
country people.
We hosted ‘Mitchelton
and District Senior Citizens Club’ and ‘Greenpark Garden Club’, all who enjoyed
the refreshed garden.
I am
already having to trim trees to let more light into the garden, amazing change
from a month ago.
Our
youngest son and family visited us then went on a two-week holiday to Bali, unfortunately
Warrick was bitten by a mosquito carrying Dengue Fever and fell very sick.
Upon return
to Brisbane he had to be hospitalized and put on a drip, it’s a shocking
disease and will take him a while to recover.
The rain
has of course brought many weeds into the garden and I am digging them out by
the bucket load before they seed again.
Nice orchids out at the moment.
My back and
left hip is not the best at the moment, not interested in doing any heavy work
at the moment.
I have finished my new presentation 'Aroids, Colour and Orchids in the Giving Garden' Judy has seen it and is happy so I will try it out this month when we vist 'Clayfield Ascot Garden Club'.
