after all the cold & wet weather we have had today is a real Show week special, sunny & warm.
And I had to water my garden because the rain missed us & it was bone dry in places!
Took the dogs walkies & admired all the lovely gardens along the way, Chita went for a wander at the park & fell in the creek!
So she had to be hosed off - stood her on the bark garden so those plants got a watering too.
Does anyone know how hardy Honey Myrtles are?
Chita's pedigree name is Honey Myrtle & I would love to grow one for her to rest under when the the time comes, have looked for info but the whole zone thing is beyond me.
Both my dogs are named for trees - Copper is Copper Beech - and in hind sight I should have picked something smaller!
They grow well in ChCh but too big for this garden.
Now if I could win lotto I would buy a life style block & have lovely big trees...
cheers - Dalfyre
