April 2022 Garden News

 

Still making improvements to the garden with six minor garden renovations this year which means old plants dug out and new ones in, it never stops.

The biggest job was to dig all the Caladium bulbs out and then raise the garden wall ready for next year.

The BIG news was receiving over one metre of rain, we are soaking wet and all seven tanks are overflowing, it's gumboot time in the Giving Garden.

 The Caladiums are cleaned and stored in the garage dry on a layer of vermiculite ready to plant out in the spring.

Good that all the garden show are starting up again, we went to the Bromeliad show and bought a few plants, must admit it gets harder and harder to find something new.

Judy and I went to ‘Logan City Garden Club’ to give a presentation on Aroids, not many in attendance and quite aged in average. I often wonder what will happen to garden clubs in a few years’ time as most are made up of members over 60.

Bought some terrible soil from our local landscape yard, it was told it was premium soil, I think or rather know that this soil is absolute crap.

We had a break to see our son and family at Agnes Waters’, nice to have a break away from the garden.
