Moved the dwarf crepe myrtles
The ground was very moist from recent rains, so here's hoping they survive the transplant process. One is pink and in flower. I have no idea what colour the other one is - yet!
1 Nov 2019 - the one nearest the large brown pot near the left gate (from inside), is quite tiny. It's a pretty cerise colour.
10 Nov - the pink one is looking good, and has recovered from the move, I think. Multiple waterings have encouraged it to flower.
This one needs a prune to help it recover, I reckon (below).

Blue salvias + updates
Mum's are such a beautiful colour, I thought I would plant some myself.
I need more to fill this bed though.
Update 12 Nov 2018: looking lovely although I will have to repot them now, as I want to rake this spare soil over the lawn, from the old garden beds. I decided I didn't want them to clutter up the lawn any more.
Planted the blue salvia in the garden, some in a pot. Also added one of Mum's red salvias - so pretty!
15 July 2019 - the first red flower is up.
Lovely, but still so small!
Front fence, with pink coral + updates
The pink coral is slowly coming back into flower, and is climbing further up my new taller fence.
10 Nov - lots of new growth!
Here's how it is looking 21 Nov 2018: Coming along and growing up there very nicely!

New old cane lounge
Drove out to Laidley (such a long way, and too far away from anything else) to collect this cane lounge, for a bargain price.
It just tidies up the area alot.
