Plumbago

Had a tiny sprig left from a larger plant which I tended to ignore while I was thinking about a place to plant it out. 

Eventually, I took the red plant out of this tub (as it was dying), and put this twiggy bit in. I have fed it seaweed and water and will now let the sun do its work.

A vigorous array of blue flowers would be nice. Then I'll put it out near the fence I reckon.

Update: 28 Feb 2017

It's flowered! And there are 3 more buds. I'm hopeful it will grow and spread.

Update: 5 March 2017. 

It's growing - multiple blooms! I am careful to water it sparingly (as they like to be drier) every day.

Update 17 March 2017: more growth, with buds! Very encouraging.

First - out the kitchen window this morning. Anthony helped me collect this white double-seater rattan chair from KMart recently - very handy.

And, from yesterday, when I had a big garden day. I mowed, raked, whipper snipped and swept. Today I replanted the .... and blew the pits off the back and front. never-ending!

The black umbrella (very thin material) was a cheapie I found on Gumtree, and had to go over to Wakerley to collect. Not a bad drive, and I got to see where suburbs were.

The brolley gives extra shade - very necessary for chooks, car and me!

Tiina

This little kitty amuses me.

Catz

I'm their human!

Keeping them inside during these nasty hot temperatures we are having this month.

Update 6 March 2017 - look how much Tina has grown!

Ladybird

They say having ladybirds in your garden means the garden is healthy. I've seen a few lately. Good news!

Taffy and Teenie in bowls!

What a lovely kitty!

22 October, 2020 - Teenie sat in a garden bowl today. Amusing! 'If it fits, I sits'

Dirk's grapevine

Has grown tall this season. I have strung it up so that it grows as cover along my walkway cover at the back. Love the light shining through it.
