EXCITING NEW PROJECTS 2021
WELL WHAT A SEASON WE ARE HAVING -RAIN GLORIOUS RAIN AND WITH ALL THE DREADFUL DROUGHT BEHIND US (AT LEAST FOR NOW) i AM SURGING AHEAD WITH FRESH IDEAS AND PROJECTS ! My new earth bank- will be amazing-I am excited about the plantings- and will list all my new natives-on this page. Looking forward to keeping a Diary on this particular project. I am creating it mainly for our (little birds) it should be a safe haven for them- and the flowering plants for their nectar! But I imagine us sitting on the new deck- enjoying watching everything grow. This all overlooks(Rocs)favourite paddock- so I intend to dedicate it to him! we still miss him-but he is still here , his grave not far from here- he is still King of the Mountain! (OUR BEAUTIFUL BIG BOY) ROC AGAIN .
MY EARTH BANK!
MY EARTH BANK! - a labour of love-here are all the plants (Tubers) (pictured below) that I am planting & will plant -as soon as it stops raining! we have had over an inch so far over the last few days-and still very grey and more on the way! still gotta mulch & cover with hessian to stop any slip! looking pretty bare-have planted approx half! May 6th

SMOKEY WISTRINGIA
Love the grey foliage on this one have ordered 4- to spread out along the bank and give a nice variety-grey leaves are a great foil for the brighter-greener plants!
-
BEE HIVE- AND HONEY
Bees are such precious little creatures-and any garden without bees is not a garden at all. We have native bees here on our place- but also other bees I think!
-
MELALEUCA
Great pink- not sure if I actually have one of these- but it is on my wish list.
