Weekend - work to be done

Mulching all round, and finishing the veggie patches with a bag of soil on each bed, to consolidate it all into compost.



Book tree greens up again

After all the flowering and seeds, the leaves have come back -



The grass is looking more burnt than ever. There is a crack in the ground now too,



but not as bad as this - children desparate for water in Guangxi Province, China, 
Nov 11 2006 during a severe drought. 
Makes mine look laughable.

28 Nov 2019 -  the sea of pink is growing! I hope the vinca really spread all over there, in a long line.

2 Dec 2019 - Some photos of the growth of the murrayas and min-a-mins (much slower) - I do like the way they are shaping up, but I need more plants to complete the effect.

Have to make the most of any flowering in this dreadful drought.
