Garden shots - start of March 2018

We've had so much rain lately, and for over a week, I could not mow, mainly because I was at work in the hours during which I would normally like to be in the garden. It has also been so very hot and humid. Yesterday and today, I got on to it, and restored some sense of order, although I badly need to whipper-snip. Thing is, about 3 weeks ago, I hurt my rib and it has not yet recovered (doctor next week).

So, the lawn is mowed and it's tidy enough for now, though not to my standards! My sore rib prevents me from wanting to be in the garden, which is not how I like things at all.

However, I do like it neat. It looks like a park. I am happy to see that the plants along the fence are filling out, and the jacaranda is much taller than me now!

Latest garden shots

I slaved all weekend over the garden, to get in top shape for the coming cooler season.

It looks good, but it costs me SO much time.

Paving idea

Not sure whether I would prefer paving or rocks - I lean towards rocks as they are easier to place and less mucking about with concrete, but the paving here looks good too. Neat.






Rebel pink hibiscus

Where I work, there are lovely white hibiscus in the gardens, which have grown a lot over the summer.

I noticed one stray pink flower recently. Must be a wild gene! A beautiful colour.
