Yet another
Covid 19 garden update.
Will I and
everyone else be glad when this is over.
Of course,
no garden presentations or bus trips to our garden but clubs are starting to
book us in for next year.
On the 19th
October it was our seventh month of drought and the garden was looking then a miracle
happened, it rained and we ended up with about 140mm which of course made us
more than happy.
The garden
has roared back and is looking green and lush especially after kelping and putting
three 25 kilo bags of Nitrophoska Blue on all the garden beds.
I am angry
as the Landscape yard where I found decent garden soil has changed their mix
and it’s obviously cheaper for them as it is about 90% organic, not what I
like.
Then we
purchase our usual Rocky Point premium Potting Mix and find that they have also
changed their mix and certainly not for the better. So dammed frustrating.
We are
welded to the fact that we will not be able to have a 2020 Open Garden in
November as numbers will be limited to 40 people only. Silly thing is it does
not matter whether you are a private residence of 400 or 4000 sm, it’s still 40
in total and that includes Judy and I and our helpers.
There would
be a riot and we usually have a queue to get in.
We are
waiting to see what January brings and we may have our opening mid-January,
fingers crossed.
Still
buying new plants and gardening every day, what else would I do?
The big job for the month was the removal of four Foxtail Palms which had just become too big and dangerous and once they were removed to redo the existing garden.
