We've come a long way in 5 months - Sept 6, 2015 to Feb 6, 2016.
The before shots, just to remind me how ghastly and bare it once was. Now, I have a profusion of growth...and I want more!!

Photos are so important
When one despairs of making progress, one only has to look at past photos to see how things have taken shape. Hence this blog.

Triffids
These frangipani shoots are the last word in scary alien looks!
I hope they don't attack during the night!!
Update 24 Jan 2016:
One has remained an alien (not sure why it's not growing - will reposition it and see if a new place works for it) and the other has taken off nicely.

New growth on the Mandarin
Yep, the mandarin orange is growing. It looks a bit insect-eaten too, but still, there appears to be some resilience. Great!
This new growth is heartening, but oh! the tree is still so small against the fence! (in the middle square pot).
Liquid gold #1
Water. So precious, so vital.
Whenever it rains, I try to catch some in these giant black pots. This serves to water the plants on days which are not so wet. It's really only enough for one watering occasion.
In the short term, I want to buy one of these from Bunnings (plus the black stand it sits on):
Eventually, I want two huge volume but slimline water tanks, a la this:

Flit the bird #3 - it's a girl
Take a look at her now - she's identical to the female's and immature fledglings HERE (I do reckon she's a girl though).
She looks fab and is so much stronger now - I have her up on a branch for balance practice. I might put her outside, but in the safety of a cage, in the next few days, so her kind can help feed her, as per the link above.
I've had him/her for a week today! I love the little hint of green on his/her wings.

Taffy tries it on
Taffy attempts to get to Flit, in his box and cage arrangement.
