July 2014

Another month of ‘living left handed’ plus being away from home for nearly two weeks – so you guessed it not much gardening this month either.  My other problem is it is so wet and windy it is difficult to even take any photos. The wind has been so strong that our swing seat that is tied down went for an abseil off the deck into the garden below.  It will have to stay there until the weather settles down.
The camellias are blooming – I love them – they just sit there doing their own thing and just look after themselves and then put on a beautiful show – can’t ask for much more from a plant. 
The vegie garden is looking bit empty – I’ve done a fair bit of one handed weeding and turning last year’s mulch into the soil so it will really go well once the weather warms up.  We have had many meals from the pot of rainbow chard and Kale growing near the living room door.  I love the ease of picking it and it loves the position – win win.


 
a favorite visitor to the garden - an Eastern Spinebill - it loves the tiny fuchsia that grows near this apricot tree.
