This is my
second attempt to write his blog as previously the power went off just as I was
to hit the save, ‘bugger’ and I was doing so well.
With all
the rain the garden has grown amazingly and I seem to be spending a lot of time
trimming trees and shrubs just to let more light into the garden.
A big show in
the garden this year has been the Zingiber Beehive Gingers, I am potting quite
a few of these up ready for this years ‘Open Garden’.
This
weekend we were supposed to be hosting a Cordyline Club meeting but hat has
been cancelled due to Covid fears.
We will
still open our garden to individuals and groups by appointment and Judy will
still have lots of rare and beautiful plants for sale.
I have not
stopped working in the garden and have refurbished several gardens with new
plants.
I have just
finished my new power point presentation ‘Aroids in the Giving Garden’ and am
very happy with it, I used to have other colorful plants in it but changed it
to all Aroids as that is the big thing these days.
It looks
like a very slow year for bus trips and presentations as we have very little
booked this year.
It’s a bit
strange as people say after one of my presentations that it was the best ever,
oh well, perhaps we are blacklisted as I refused a club late last year as they
wanted me to complete my presentation in 25 minutes whereas I insist on 45
minutes.
If only
they knew how much work goes into making a presentation and I have no intention
of compromising it.
As I write this,
we are in the middle of a rain event, so far 215 mm.
One of the
very few days where I can’t garden.
