I wonder what all the city folk do for amusement when there are no possums around ? Probably worry about real burglars noises. it was hot again yesterday afternoon but another lovely morning at the moment. Not a lot going on here with hubby still laid up and no timber as yet. I walk around talking to the plants and encouraging them to grow. My baby Cootamundras are growing quickly so I will have a wattle fence line. They do very well here and the advantage is that you can attack them with a chainsaw if they get too big. I like the fact that they tend to grow from the base so you are never left with just a line of trunks as the tops grow taller. I have a dahlia flowering and was surprised as I have just left them to their own devices since removing them from the garden. Others are coming up so they must like their little patch which was a pile of old sheep manure. . I have some Brisbane lilies ( proiphys cunninghamii ) coming up too which I have never grown before , so they will be different. Does anyone grow them ? I bought some seed and lots came up. I have some plants in pots and others in the garden. I suppose I will have to wait until they develop a bulb to see them flower. How long will it take ? Anyone know ? Hello to Chrissy, Dalfrye and Mya and Steve too. How are all the cacti going Colleen and Brian ? It would be great fun deciding where they go but a bet there are a few prickles in fingers. Shopping day this week and I will be going on my own so definitely a plant day. Must put out something to eat or Kat will be knocking at the door. Try this GingerBread Cake. Have a great day everyone. I'm off to peruse the cryptics. Jean. |
