Stunning a bit of dead heading and it will be looking even better
I have a pretty bad sense of smell but yes. Its near the back door and Ive got every vase chockers with them. Lots more bushes too all different colours. The rain plus I bought a worm farm for the kitchen scraps I think is giving back the love.Stunning a bit of dead heading and it will be looking even better

Banana peels are one thing Ive never thrown in the worm farm or citrus skins. So bananas skins are good? Ive always put em in hard rubbish cos im unsure.I used to throw banana peels under my roses
Worms dont like onion or citrus Im not sure about chillies either ???Banana peels are one thing Ive never thrown in the worm farm or citrus skins. So bananas skins are good? Ive always put em in hard rubbish cos im unsure.
Yeah I have a wood fire so always plenty of ash, but dont over do it. Onions and citrus always hard rubbish but Ive always been unsure about bananas.Worms dont like onion or citrus Im not sure about chillies either ???
I used to throw the bananas straight under the roses now I put them under the tomatoes get the flowering going with a bit of potassium a bit of wood ash too from the barby (not briquettes real wood)

Great thing about worm farms is you throw the castings around and you dont need to buy seed nearly everything just grows that went in there.The worm farm is one of the best things I have bought. Produces liquid gold, plants love it. Just from my kitchen scraps.
If you have an old banana laying on the counter, cut it in half and bury it in the worm bin. Your worms will love it!What to Feed Your Composting Worms - Thistle Downs Farm

I wont be growing fruit trees at the new joint (we dont eat much of what we did grow (except the peaches, made some beautiful jam out of those) so cant be bothered growing them, trimming them over winter, netting them etc). Not sure what i will do there yet.
I hate gardening (and I hate spring + hayfever) but pls post more pics of pretty flowers + gardens pls, thanks.
Men being nice to each other?Anyone in Sydney, you should visit the Japanese Gardens in the city. Visited it awhile back, about 10 years ago.

Unfortunately not at night.
I lived in a house with a lemon tree out the front, for over ten years.
Do miss that thing, was really handy just grabbing lemons whenever you needed them.
You should at least do a lemon tree.
Olives are a fair bit of dedication unless you just want the Mediterranean look ...squashing or pickling is a lot of workNa dont think ill do any - we'll be going from 2 apple trees, pear, peach, plum, cherry, dwarf lemon, dwarf lime, dwarf orange and olive tree to nil.
Apart from the Lemon, Peach and both apple trees, the others we havent gotten much from - cherries get picked off by birds, lime and orange have never done much, couple of pears but this year looks a bumper - has about 20 growing, plum is a young tree and hasnt fruited yet, same with olive.

Pears are usually biennial
Lemons are worth their weight in gold
Limes and oranges in Melbourne unless you have a good spot with a warmer micro climate your going to be disappointed most years
Cherries are excellent but the birds do love them so do the possums
Apples do well plums do well I had good success with almonds too
Peaches and nectarines you would want a variety that tastes better than the bland stuff that gets sold in supermarkets I had Anzac and I cant remember the other one ???....older heirloom varieties from Flemings (they have a brochure online)
Apricot and figs are worth growing at home because they are never the same from a shop as they are from a tree
My backyard in Port Melb was surrounded by espaliered fruit trees.....early and late season varieties
Plums,Peaches, Nectarines, Pears ,Apples ,Cherries, Figs, Almonds, Apricots ,also had blood orange cumquat's limes and mandarin and lemon
Quite a good warmer micro climate in Port Melbourne the salt air and the warmth of the city....everything grew well
