New jac #3 + updates

Went to the local Sunday markets and bought this one for $10. Putting it in the ground and leaving it alone, to do it's thing. Hopefully that will work this time, and grow to semi-cover that awful power pole (see pic 2, below).


Please grow fast, little jac!


Update 4 Feb, 2019: She has grown taller, and is now throwing a wee bit of shade! How lovely. It will be great and very welcome shelter when she is bigger.The drought is having an effect on her growth. I do water her but as she is a weed, and I have lost 2 others through over-care, I am trying to leave her alone to do her own thing.



Here's the carpet and shadow provided by the Churchie jacs:



8 Feb 2019: Little jac looks green and seems to be growing ok. Not yet very tall.

10 Feb 2019: Relentless heat.



30 March 2019: Seems to be ok. Recent rain has helped with growth. I'll be pleased when she reaches the top and over the supporting pole.


26 April, 2019: Almost at the top of her support pole!





New agapanthus

Went to local Sunday morning markets for the first time in months, and bought a couple of agapanthus, for $5 each.
Here's hoping they take and grow and spread. I will buy more another time.
