Default Garden Fever

Anyone else got that Autumn Garden Fever, where you suddenly discover all

the
stuff you need to do in your garden, and actually start doing it?



Hmmm so that's what it's called? :-)
At work we are pretty much trying to get in control of the sudden flickweed
explosion that seems to have occured in the past 2 weeks. Also add to that
the abundance of pitchforks growing.
Around the house been doing a little. 2 recent operations saw me indoors
laying on the lounge watching TV during a couple of weekends while the g/f
spent that time in the Garden. She loves it :-) Pity I'm back at work now.
Seems here on the Mid North Coast the still quite warm weather and some good
rain in the past month or 2 has meant stuff has not yet slowed in growing.
Still waiting for the ornamental peach out the back to lose all it's leaves
so I can prune it down REAL hard. While I'm at it the White cedar out the
front will be coming down too. I hope anyway.

I think it's the beautiful weather we're having here today. Went to the
Australian Plants Society Grevillea Group's Autumn Plant Sale at Mt Annan
yesterday and found quite a few plants from my Wanted List. All the ones

that
had beds prepared have now been planted -- oddly enough, that's most of

them!
