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? 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! -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "...children should continue to be breastfed... for up to two years of age or beyond." -- Innocenti Declaration, Florence, 1 August 1990 |

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.

Garden Fever
I know exactly what you mean!! There's weeds to get rid of, mulch to
buy - areas that have been sitting there all summer now need to get some colour into them. I am on an acre west of Brisbane and it seems like a never ending job!! Though I don't help the situation by getting onto the garden addresses and buying 50 bulbs - damn the Internet "Andrew G" wrote in message ...
