Front garden shots, Nov 21-27

Looking tidy and neat after 3 hours work!

I'm happy that the garden is looking green from recent rains, but more importantly, it looks much more established now. Older, and bigger foliage. Nov 27 -

Took down the red abutilon

I decided to chop this tree out, as it was leaning so far over and getting so think and big. It has a couple of little shoots at its base, so I kept those, and chopped the main trunk. I will throw the tree body away, and try to relocate the shoots in the back garden. I quite like the space that is where the tree stood - it's clearer and more light in the garden.

20 Nov - The frangis have filled out a bit more now. Hopefully they will put on a lot of growth this season and shade out the dreadful heat of summer from the west.

1 Nov - The frangis have grown above the fence! Exciting!

Pale pink blakeana in seed again - first seeds of the season

Little Rose

Her little feets sticking up when I came home to see her sleeping on the sofa!

Before and after mowing the meadow - Saturday morning

A stinking hot day, at 32, and very humid. I managed to get the lawns done before the predicted storm at 1pm (it's almost 12 noon as I type). I cannot stand an untidy lawn!

Front and back

 

Lovely mown lawn. Neat, tidy, raked garden (rare!).

Out the back.
