Calling all gardeners in Aus...

Every bloody time I'm all set to get stuck into it, something else comes up that has a higher priority... it'll have to be either later this week or early next. Gotta get those spuds in soon, with luck all the serious frosts are behind us now. I've been busy in the veg patch, the rose bed and doing garden visits which always inspire me and fire me into action. We've had 8 huge pine trees removed from between my rose bed and the veg patch so now there will be no further root competition from the blasted things. It was amazing to watch the men clib the trees to drop them in chunks but in the process they dropped a huge branch on my wonderful old Hills Hoist and it took weeks before they replaced it with a new one. Of course the new one is crap quality. Bugger on the clothesline... I imagine the soil is fairly acidic where the pien trees were, could be good for Azelias or Blueberries. Speaking of Blueberries and acidic soil, I have several plants scattered around the gardens but they haven't exactly gone crazy. I'm thinking of creating a bed just for blueberries, I have access to plenty of decades-old sawdust, which they would love to grow in. I'm making a LOT of blueberry mead these days, so it's something I should do, as supply of quality berries can be patchy at times. |
