First frangis of summer 2018 (in 'John's Garden')

The fruit salad colour is out first. I gave it a drink this week - wonder if that 'tipped it off'?

End of Summer flowering - 6 Feb 2019:

Dec 7, 2019 - 

 

It's neat out the back

Not much happening out here until I have more time. It can tend to look somewhat messy and I have to work hard to keep it neat. It will be good when it's all done, and the plants are growing around the pergola frame. That will take a while.

Pretty small things

Nudie-rudies:

Potting hutch out the back:

Mum's star jasmine

Looking great - hopefully I can look at mine with awe, this time next year.

Below is mine, out the front, at the beginnings of the parterre garden.

Update 15 Nov 2018: I bought a new star jasmine from Bunnings today. It will go in the other section of the parterre. I do need 2 more but will see what the work 'Secret Santa' and birthday gifts bring me.

Dirk's grapevine - Season 3

18 Nov 2018: Swelling nicely

22 Nov 2018: We have had quite a bit of rain from late arvo storms

New potato vine

So, this one, whilst currently potted, is designed to hide the neighbours next door. I will have the top of the fence extended and this can climb all over it. It will need pruning regularly which is a bit of a pain but Plan to buy a Ryobi hedger to do all my fence plants and that should make it easier.

This one is a lovely light violet colour when in flower.

New common jasmine + updates

This time, the jas is around the back of the house, and is to adorn the pergola. Already it has grown in the week or so that I have had it.

Doing ok so far, as at 24 Jan, 2019:

7 Sept 2019 - it's going berserk now, with new shoots coming out everywhere this Spring.
