Winter is
over and it was a mild one, we only had our fire on about three times.
Absolutely
NO rain all winter and the place is now so dammed dry, lucky we have still got
some water left in our rainwater tanks.
A big job
this month was to top up established gardens with new soil as the ‘shrinkage’
problem was becoming evident. This happens as the organic material
deteriorates.
Only one
garden presentation this month and that was to ‘Kilcoy Garden Club’, nice but
small club who always show us their country hospitality.
I managed
to prune all four Carambola trees and four Custard Apples but there was a
surprise lurking in one of the Custard Apple trees for me.
I had
climbed the tree and cutting branches with my ‘Silky Saw’ and one of the
branches felt too heavy and as I pulled it towards me I noticed a mammoth
Python curled around the branch, well I soon let it go and ran to get my camera
and to tell Judy about it. I then managed to get some nice photos and video before
it became too close for comfort.
Good news
about his years ‘Open garden’, my son has done a great flyer for us and we have
a coffee van which will be selling coffee, tea, cold drinks and homemade cakes.
My new
tiller has had a good workout and our Grandson loves using it.
Our
friendly Magpie knows exactly when Breakfast and lunch times are.
Now it’s
back to watering, hoping for some rain prior to the ‘Open garden’.
Scadoxis and Solandra in flower this month.
