One of the most frustrating things I find in the garden is to see bunches of grapes forming on the vine, watching them get bigger and then find that the birds have stripped the vine almost overnight.
This year I decided that I would make a sensible move and try to protect them from an avian invasion.
With Spring in the air, it is nice to have a look at some of the colours in my backyard.
There’s not a huge range to choose from but what it there is delightful.
It’s funny how you can look at something year after year without it having any affect on you, then suddenly, out of the blue it’s time to make a change!
I’ve had a sad excuse for a Yucca sitting in a pot outside the front door for more years that I care to think about. I’ve now decided to release it into the wild.
My root-bound Yucca, minus its pot.
There is a corner of my garden that has been over-taken by a cabbage tree, grasses and ferns and it annoys me every time I look at it.
It’s one of those areas that you know you need to do something with, but you just can’t think what would be the best move.
We’ll today it got the better of me. I started off going to Mitre 10 to pick up a filter for the little pool pump, but I ended up walking out with over $70 worth of plants as well.
At least I have made a start!
What do you do when you see any small maintenance jobs or clean-up work that needs to be done around your house or garden?
Perhaps it’s as simple as a weed tidy-up but you don’t know where to start.
Well after just a wee bit of planning, it can be the simplest task imaginable.
