Mid year greenness

The green garden

After a months of dry we have hit the wet! The last 2 months has been great for the garden – we have had over 250mms here – and another wet few days on the cards.
The north garden is going along a treat – apart from the silly wallabies who continue to eat anything that isn’t caged away. However i have turned to ‘PossOff’ and it seems to be doing the trick. One very angry wallaby wents nuts and ripped a hole in the ground after nibbling on a possOff’d sprayed-leaf (mmm chilli flavoured).

I have spent some time fixing the edges of the lush thick lawn and everything looks very nice indeed. Hopefully we can get a bit more to get us through the dry of late winter and early spring

Hopefully some of the grevillia’s and callistemons will bush up and match the growth of the native grasses which have gone nuts. Happy to see the bamboo going very well too! Will bring you some more pics of the plants when I get out there next!
