An End-Of-Autumn Gardening Weekend in north-east Oz ...The 'Wet'...

At least you have some beauitful greenery to look out upon which I love to see 1st picture your plants are lovely. Your garden looks lovey you ve done a great job. Yes sunlight is what plants mainly need

We are getting strange weather too, very cold then rain then dry and overcast then sun but still cold.

Sixpence ... yes it's true there is a lot of lush greenery to look at when it's pouring with rain ... but the green fingers were getting really, really itchy!!! Weather patterns seem to be rather different this year in a lot of places ... not much fun for us gardeners.

Yes I know the feeling lol Bernieh, yes I know you ve been having weird weather over there in New Zealand too, as Gill has stated on you know where lol.

Sixpence ... weird is definitely the word! Both NZ and here is Oz the weather has been decidedly strange ... lots of wet weather up here and apparently lots of dry over there!! Don't know what's going on!

I haven't visited 'you know where' for ages and ages. Must pop in again! I've joined the blogging world and I've just been having so much fun with my blogs, that I haven't been visiting certain gardening sites much at all lately! Not enough hours in the day.

lol Bernieh I am pleased you do blogging you get a better look and see more hehe, like a tour which I love.

Well I have heard they spray stuff above the clouds which might be the cause. Russia does simular on Red Square day, in order to guarantee a lovely day prior they use to send a plane up to put cement in the clouds to hold the rain off.

There was a link which in the usa a chap was employed to study the chem trails of holigraphic pictures in the sky, he then noticed shortly after, that the cloud formation changed and down pours of rain followed which he had never seen in all his life. I also find it funny when they had the meetting about global warming and they never commited in brussels usa etc to cut down, Gorden Brown was furious, not too long after this there was flooding in Cumbria.

I do know by RonG on the other site said to me that holographic images were seen in his town and was in the papers, he tired to get copies even going to the news paper office to get a copy of the picture. So it makes me wonder. I could of placed the link on here but I would of got flagged.

i need a good clear out to Bernieh.....love your palms in pots....and your crossandra plants....:-)

Hi Sandra ... it's been a good thing, having the clear out! The whole area looks so much better and I feel better as a result!! Those poor palms need to be re-potted soon ... but I'm shuddering to think what I'll have to pay for larger clay pots!!!

All looks very nice regardless BH. Some work to do but always nice to see the results after some TLC.

I still love your whole set-up there:0))

Thanks Oddbillie ... it's looking a whole lot better now that I've sorted it all out. Just waiting now for all the annual seedlings to bloom ... and it should have quite a bit of colour.

Can't wait to see the results!

Hiya - I had to smile at this blog after reading your profile - 'the dry tropics' - goodness - all the green is wonderful and I'm not sure there can ever be too much of it LOL - I'm glad to see other people use their outdoor tables as a convenient potting table too - they are always just the right height aren't they - lovely blog - thank you =))

Thanks Cate ... yes the long 'wet' we had this year has certainly meant the whole area up here has stayed green for longer than usual. But the showers have stopped now and already the surrounding countryside is starting to dry out ... doesn't take long for the bush to turn brown once more!

Lol ... I use my outdoor table all the time for potting up ... it really is my potting bench cunningly disguised as a piece of outdoor furniture.

I am always late with reading blogs and looking at the newest pictures, but it's certainly not too late to tell you how much I enjoyed reading all about your plant-live down under. Fascinating. I love so many of your plants I couldn't say which ones I liked best. Some of the plants are new to me, but then I still have loads to learn. Today in the South of England, it's been a really hot day, the first one so far this year. lets hope it stays a while. Good luck with your weather too and happy gardening

Thanks Titchy ... I'm glad you enjoyed the read. The weather has finally turned and we're now getting days of glorious sunshine, much cooler temps. and really low humidity levels ... winter is almost here! So I'm looking forward to being out in the garden every day now. Hope you get lots of sunny days for your summer!
