Thanks Jean, for starting a new thread for the new year. We have been really busy these last few weeks and it has been overcast with showers every day making it hard to get things done in the yard. We had a fairly fine day yesterday so Michael spent several hours poisoning the weeds and nut grass that have taken over what used to be lawn, which died off when we went so long without rain in Spring-early Summer. Anyway, he had just finished and came in for a cuppa and we had a five minute downpour so his afternoon was completely wasted. We have been trying to clean up some of the gardens further away from the house where a lot of the plants died when they were without water and they became neglected. Since the rain they have become really overgrown with weeds, vines and grass. Its hard to believe how quickly all the weedy stuff has grown in just a few weeks. The one we are working on at the moment has a large jacaranda and a nice euodia which is in flower at the moment and attracting lots of parrots. Once we get rid of all the rubbish growing underneath, I want to use the space under the trees for broms. Nev, did the seeds/seedlings of the euodia I sent you grow.
