Garden news July/August 2023

 

July was a quiet month with watering taking up most of our time.

Of the large Pandanus which continually dropped large prickly leaves, thanks to our good friends Mike and Wendy Budden for the help, I could not do much as my knee was giving me hell that weekend and I could not walk without a walking stick.




One garden talk for ‘Indooroopilly Garden Club’ on ‘Aroids in the Giving Garden’, it was well received although club members have dropped significantly since we last went there.

We will not be crossing the city to do any more garden talks; the traffic is just too bad.

In August we went to ‘Ormiston Garden Club’ to do the Aroid presentation, this club seems to be very active with new members.

We had a bus visit from ‘Karana Downs Garden Club’ and that went well with them all enjoying the winter garden.




It was our very good friend Rod Paterson’s 90th Birthday and Judy made him a special lunch.



 

We had our annual ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ garage sale and sold quite a few plants.

After all that we drove to Agnes Water to see our son and family, after a few days we get restless for the garden, still it was lovely to see family and have a bit of a rest.





Still no rain, garden is parched and getting low on rainwater.
