All of these......
....plus another tubful into these beds.
I've had to give the beds names.
This bed is called front of tank bed!
And back of house bed!
Then there's granny flat wall......( which must surely be the most unattractive bed of all).
For those that missed out, I've nestled them into pots for the time being and kept them here.
To keep track of what's been planted where, I needed to make a list.
Mystery cosmos because the leaf label I'd made, blew off into space never to be seen again. It'll be a miracle if they survive in that bed anyway without any covers.
The Ruby Garden billy buttons will be another miracle bloom if they get that far. It's not even proper soil in there. But I had to give them a try for Helen. The giant ants that live there could've taken them away by now.
I had promised myself not to talk about earwigs this week but seeing them spewing out of the top of another one of the post and rail fence posts like a chocolate fountain was a sight to behold! Then I attacked them for a second time with my squirty bottle of pyrethrum. Seriously, how the heck anything has survived out there is a miracle.
I'll keep putting out beer traps until Bill's ancient homemade brew runs out.
They still seem to capture a few slugs and earwigs.
Of course that's NOT the end of the pestilence problem here. Now we've got the rabbits digging their way to China out in the front beds!
Yes, probably you! Sauntering past the window at breakfast.
Most times they end up digging up a plant at the same time. I just shove them back in with my boot, give it a bit of a stomp, water it back in and hope for the best.
We let these guys have a drink, then moved them on before they found anything to wreck.
Farmshop jars.
Around the garden path.
The cherry tree lighthouse is in position. Bill is not taking any risks with marauding wildlife of the bird kind. He loves those cherries and plans to eat the lot.
Nope....there's a late modification.
Scilla in flower. So pretty. Only three flowers this year. I've never had them before.
Pumpkin seeds from Helen's Dad in Lakes Entrance now growing here at Frogpond Farm.
Bill's sister, Joanne, was over the moon when her first grandchild arrived last week......and so were we!
Delilah.
She is a little sweetheart.
Congratulations Lachlan and Kaila.
Halloween
Vampire Flynn ready for the disco.
Amy and Helen also Halloweening....
Claire and Sara ....
And Trav and Renee's littlies all dressed up for Halloween too.
No Halloween for this baby girl though....
And her Daddy at work. 37degrees. Blerrrrr......way too hot for me.
I shall keep coddiwompling with the Summer Wedding Garden.
I'm definitely being purposeful and it seemed to work on paper.
A few of the plants are quite new to me.
I just picked ones that grow in Summer.
And I must remind you, I don't do Summer......but this year it will be different!
I'm loving every single part of the process.
Have a great week everyone.
I wonder how many of you are coddiwompling...........¥*£*¥€£?
