Hi there!
I come and go with momentum – I figure I was more tired after the travelling than I thought. Plus I have a cold which started on the way home (not as bad as Jeff had it but a nuisance just the same)
Anyway, in the last 24 hours I have not only done gardening stuff but also chatted to the fellow that was the architect of Biosphere 2, exchanged emails with a fellow that works at NASA and spoke for a while with an exhibiting artist in Florida.
All one of those normal/weird things that happen in my life!
Once I have finished this side project of mine that I fell into by accident, I will tell you all about it!
Two broody chooks in purgatory! I can’t tell you how unimpressed they are to be locked into the Trailer Of Shame haha
They have escaped, so now we’ve got it covered and netted. I keep telling them to be happy we are not adopting the local older persons method of making broody chooks forget about their broodiness… which entails putting them in a bag and hanging them on the clothesline!!!! (Apparently that makes them forget about it pretty quick)
Oh and hello nightmare. Front/side garden. Where does one start?
And really… no idea what to do with this area. It gets battered by wind, so is not a good place to grow much (except clearly the weeds). Putting down stone/woodchip would be a waste of time because of the rubbish the next door gum trees continually shed on it.
We just need to clear it up again to reduce snake habitat, fire hazards etc.
Thats my lame effort start!
At least this bit looks improved:
This is Jeffs before and after:
Took Pip on a walk to see what flowers were worth taking a snap of.
Dont ask me… I don’t know. Cool and weird though isn’t it? Was given to us by an elderly lady aaaaages ago and it has lived in a bucket of water since. We really need to decide where to give it its forever home
While I wasn’t looking my liliums all started to bloom!
Hope everybodys weekends are going along beautifully!
Cheers!
I don’t know how I would get through my winters without your garden pictures! It is currently snowing here in Michigan and is going to snow every day for the next weekš.
Hi Pam! I’ll do my best to keep the posts bright and warm! Since I just saw it snowing in Corpus Christi Texas I think the more usual snow areas in the US are going to be pretty cold this winter! Insane!
Hi Lisa,
Check out Google images for Dracena. This may be your mystery flower. The flowers on the Dracena pictures are all opened, which yours weren’t but when yours open, do they look like these pictures?
The shape of the inflorescence looks similar. Also, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_fragrans.
Cheers,
Carla
Hi Carla – I will have to keep an eye on mine to see what it does and if it matches the Dracena! Thanks for the information!
