Garden cloche

'Dollar-store cloche', as the American blogs call it. It's actually a waste paper basket, upside down with a door knob attached. I've put it over the poinsettia for the time being, as I frequently step into that hole - hopefully this way, I will more readily avoid it. I'd like to make some more for my future veggie plot - yest to be established this year - to keep the birds off the young plants.

Ivory curl tree/s

Ivory Curl tree. 
New, from the Salvos shop.

I hope it lives. I like them but I wonder whether this spot is too hot for it? It's Autumn now, so cooling down a tad.

This area looks a mess at the moment, but it won't always be so.

17 July 2019 - Growing well tho still small.

22 Oct 2019 -  I moved this one from the back-side of the garden, to the front, on the carport side. It seems as though it has not handled this move, and looks dead. I had ordered another one from Daley's Nursery, which arrived, and so I planted it beside the first, hoping the first night recover (and then I could move the second one).

12 Jan 2020 -  I discovered it was not growing so well here, so I have potted it for the time being.

Latest lazies

Sprawling on the sofas on a Sunday afternoon!

Newest lattice on front

Got some dim bloke, called Steve, from Facebook, to put some more lattice up on the pergola to finally get some more privacy. Sadly, I couldn't get the same colour as the original panels, as they weren't available, but I reckon I can paint these to match.

I need Ashley to come swing the remaining balustrade out from the verandah to under this latest piece of lattice on the front.

It's not perfect, and is somewhat messy, but it will be nice when I'm all done.

Port Wine Magnolia #3

Trying again. The second one died too. It was too hot for the baby plant to flourish.

Update 22 March, 2019 - It's tiny at the moment, but looks to be surviving.

30 March 2019: Signs are that it has taken and is growing, albeit slowly.

I think I put this one in a pot eventually, if I recall correctly.

New boug 5 for fence

She's a beautiful colour. 

9 June, 2019: Beginning to flower, so I hope that means she has taken and will grow here as I will be removing the passionfruit eventually.

New shoot -

New growth on book tree

I noticed some new growth this morning:

(Here's the previous update I made)

26 April, 2019: Lovely new growth shape, and tall!
