Mum's birthday week starts today, ends Sunday 28th June

She is 85 on the 25th June.

We went to Dovetails Restaurant in Ipswich this morning to have brunch.

It was pleasant enough. A cold, drizzly day though. I felt the same, though the duck risotto was a winner!

Lemon tree

Poor tree has experienced many changing fortunes. Was ok in the pot but in the ground, it has gone down, been eaten by grasshoppers and after feeling and watering is only now beginning to come back again.

28 October 2020 - My neighbours gave me these lemons which are cute - 

Front garden by night

And below, in the early days soon after the lattice sheets went up - 29 Oct 2016 

Red boug cuttings

I took a branch, left it for a few days before I could get around to it, and snipped it into sections, then used hormone powder as I saw in a youtube video, and planted them. Hope they take root.

Little pigface

Pinched a bit from a neighbours garden (around the block) and planted it near the orange creeper. It appears to have taken. It does get bright light all day so that has helped plus my watering. Can just see one pink flower beginning to open.

August 30 - has grown a lot, and I am intending to grow it in other areas now too, since it seems to take quite well, as long as it has full sun.

Leaves continuing to fall from the frangis

They have been losing leaves for a while now, but with some flowers still appearing!

July 7, 2020 - Lindy's Frangi is almost bare!
