A short drive from Brisbane ,Montville seems to have a totally different weather forecast. It is raining and foggy again here today and cooler too. Just when we thought winter wasn't happening.
The rain is a god send for my cuttings and means I don't have to water them with the watering can for a few days.I love propagating plants and it is always rewarding to see how quickly you can grow new plants in the right conditions. When I see the retail cost of plants, it has to be something really special or a complete impulse buy for me to spend the money.
In my garden there is also the matter of making space for cuttings as my potting area is already full and is not in the best place for the winter months. I can see that my cuttings will be taking over all available pathway space for the time being.I just need more land!
In my search for sun I am planning to move my vegetable box to the back of the house below the back verandah. This spot originally supported a very large vegetable and herb garden before the pool was put in. Other plans include working on the area where the Bauhinia Tree was removed and planting up the understory at the rear of the property.
The fact is that even if nothing happens in my garden I still love it. It is constantly changing and growing and provides us with endless topics of conversation.
I think if you are lucky enough to have a partner who shares a love of gardening you will never be short of discussion. You can talk about the health and growth of plants ,garden design
ideas ,the past developments of your garden and the future of your garden for ever.
I wonder what the non gardeners talk about?
