Messy garden
It's messy but it's kind of seasonal too, in a good kind of way. The light is definitely different from season to season.
Star jasmine re-jig + updates
I had a tiny star jasmine in the front (John's) garden, which did not grow at all.

I've moved it around to the back. Not sure if this its the best position but for now, it will do.
I've given it regular waterings, and it seems to be sprouting again as we near another Spring. I want it to overflow, but perhaps as a preferred ground cover, it should be lower, to spread about?
7 Sept 2019 - baby jasmine flowers!
21 Sept 2019 -
29 Jan 2020 - she is reaching and will soon droop over!
2 Feb 2020 - and here she is, poking well above the pole!

It rained all night - how beautiful does she look?
25 Jan 2020 - She has reached the top of the pole! Almost time to arrange her draping over and down.
2 Feb 2020 - and here she is, poking well above the pole!
And look at this one gone wild, thick and high at the school I now work at! (around a pole).
12 Feb 2020 -
The rain continues - so good to have 2 weeks of rain after such a long period of drought.
5 March 2020 - She has really taken off and is looking so pretty already.
I am enjoying the thickening up of this plant.
Taffy in the morning
What a beautiful girl!
and a snooze in the afternoon!
30 July, 2019 - Looks like this girl has her spot worked out, in the warmth and shade!
11 Nov 2019 - My sweet, fat girl, still rolling around on the bench seat!
and on the car bonnet! Bluey-bushfire-haze in the air.
Pulled out the passionfruit, just keep the calliandra there
Had a day off to sort out Nigel and Mental Health. Sold some items on Facebook Marketplace.
I pulled out the rest of the passionfruit vine, gathering the last of the fruit and in its place, espaliering the beautiful calliandra red pom-pom against the fence. I want it to fill the space. I'm not sure whether the passionfruit will grow back. I have spread a bag of horse-poo around the base, as they say they need it, and I thought the vine had died.
Big pile of passionfruit vine mess to mulch.

7 August, 2019 - 3 pom-poms in a row. So pretty.
