Wow you have been busy, a lot of hard effort gone into this. I hope it looks even better in 12 months time. Oh when you can't find your frog don't look at my house, ok?

It looks so lush! Now I have garden envy as well as chook envy! Our place is pretty dry and brown at the moment.

looks great if only we could do that the way we have gone this last few days there would be nothing left even the wild birds are panting and we have lots of shade and water down for them to cool off with Trev

Thanks guys! Quambie, the cottagey gardens require a fair amount of water but these latest plants are pretty waterwise. I have Agave, Dietes,Agapanthus, Aloe, Bromeliads etc. The Cannas are hardy although technically water lovers, they cope fine with little water once established. They are newly planted but despite the heat the past few days, are looking just as good as when I planted them all. I only water them about twice a week now. They are in afternoon shade. You could try things like that planting in winter maybe and they should be fine by summertime. Bonus is once you have them you can keep dividing and replanting elsewhere. Cheers, Wendy

HI Wendy Thanks for that info We have used three large square bails of pea hay this year even the roses are finding it hard the Lavender is OK and you can not kill off the rosemary or the gum trees the best are the wattles and the grevilleas! and bottle brush they seem to like the heat what a pity we could not eat some of it because there's nothing left in my garden again "I lie" a few tomatoes have survived and one pumpkin not bad considering the veggie patch was about 300 M2 and all under reticulation Roll on winter it will look great again Trev

Grevilleas are fab! My fav native plants. Ive just planted 2 different colours of the best for my soil I find, Olivacea - red and orange. Cant wait fo them to grow!! The Winparra grevillea series (gold, gem ) are great too, theyre next on the list.
