A New Bit of Garden

[t00lie]

What a lot of work Dave but your garden has wonderful 'Himalayan' backdrops with the Rhododendrons and Camellias - trying to work out when they will be in flower for you guess it will be Nov?  Will look forward to seeing your new Trillium bed in flower.

Yip around Oct /Nov Robin.

The trilliums a bit earlier starting in September.

Cheers dave.

That's actually quite a good idea Dave and I should have thought of it before because a neighbour felled a few eucalyptus about 5 years ago for that very payment. Unfortunately he has now gone to live in Australia. In any case, the trees will have to be taken out over the road fence as in the meantime I'm cleaning up and restocking the nursery and adding more beds, so no way are they coming out across that.

Robin, John could well be up for it. He has offered previously to help with cleaning up, just the time to do it, but he'll have some of that soon.

Although it's not in my property  i thought i'd post a few pics of the job i have just about finished at our local airport.

Being less than a kilometre from an estuary and an extremely exposed spot ,about 1400 native shrubs and grasses known to cope with coastal situations were planted.

The 3 pics show stage 1 completed with 100 odd metres of chip mulch added to reduce maintance.

Stage 2 mostly around the buildings is yet to receive it's mulch.

Cheers dave.
