Yesterday I planted some tomatoes, capsicum and a passion fruit around the lemon tree. It's a small garden where lots of good soil has built up from composting.
Can you spot the thrush?
I think its the same one nesting in RBB's front yard. He sent it over to steal my worms after I stole his Testore handle. I'll be putting netting around my tomatoes, that's for sure.
I bought a metal Tui to add to my native garden. To raise it I put it on bamboo sticks but now it looks like a Pukeko!
The plant in the background is Brugmansia Vulcanicola. It comes from Columbia. The flower is the reason I took a cutting and planted it, but it is also very toxic being related to the Nightshade genus. You are not supposed to even touch it without gloves I read yesterday. I pruned it back heavily, and I think I will remove it completely.
I read the TC is making good progress staging his house for sale. One benefit of being single is that I can move furniture around, do it once and right, no one to change her mind or say 'let's try it over here'.
Did Mass last evening. Will go to Bunnings early to get some staples for my bird netting.
Have a blessed fun day and repent for all those past sins. It's too late to repent when you die!
I don’t understand how noxious plants are permitted into the country. I blame the garden centres.
ReplyDeleteUp north we have weed eradication groups who are forever pulling out ‘pretty’ but invasive exotic plants that some silly people have planted and which run wild through native bush areas.
