Kanga's virtual garden.

[kanga_brumby]

Well this is a place to give each other gardening tips. Or plant your own virtual garden. Put what ever plants you wont in here, keeping it legal please. Lets get a nice one to wonder through.

Please leave the magpies alone, you may feed them. But leave the nest alone. I don't want them feeling threatened. So they start swooping, unsuspecting supporters of other football clubs. We Victorian people know that they will get the collewables within the next couple of months. They have tried to berry them twice. Which failed of coarse.

Is there still space for a cottage garden? Perhaps near the lake or the bridge? Something that is allowed to ramble unchecked and untamed. Something with life, and colour and spontaneity. Something that the weeds don't get a look in, but if they squeeze through, then they become part of the character. Something free and untamed.

Perhaps too an old fashioned rose garden? Perhaps near the gardenias so that they may lend their perfume to the gentle breeze. Something with colour, and form and beautiful aromas. A rainbow of colours. An archway and a rock wall, something for the bramble rose to climb on and spill over. Just enough thorns to appreciate the beauty....

There is always room for a rainbow garden. They are great. We can have rose garden over to the side as big as you want. If its one thing I love is a good rose garden. Hate pruning the things, they scratch my arms to heck. I have learnt how to prune them though. Did one for a friend, evidently it then started to give more and better flowers. After the pruning than before. I did forget to water and fertilize it. It goes to show if you know what you are doing, it all works.

Thanks for the Yukka tip Paul,

I have 2 in my front garden, apparently it is good feng shui to place them near the entrance to the house, however, they are on the edge of the paved pathway. I had been thinking of moving them anyway, you post must have been my sign to do so. See, things are sent to us when we need them...

Oh the cottage garden looks beautiful, I love it. I also love wind chimes the large ones that have a deep sound.

Hello lovely garden! I've missed being here.

Today I'm taking some cuttings of coral trees so I'll plant them in the garden.

They are very easy to propagate and so beautiful in flower (messy though like Jacaranda flowers are). Just cut a piece of green softwood from the tip of a branch, dip in rooting hormone and pop into a premade hole in a pot of potting mix. Easy.

I love the big heart shaped leaves and how the red flowers appear when the tree is bare of leaves. I know people say they randomly drop branches but so do lots of trees so I'll take the risk 😊

The bottle brush birds are lovely just as the little blue wrens are, but the myna birds they are pests. Geoff.

All right who dumped the snow in the garden. I never ordered snow, It's too cold. Warm I don't mind, cool I don't mind. freezing and roasting are out. If it's to hot you cannot get cool for long, freezing yo don't want to leave bed. If it's cool you can get warm and stay warm. Forget freezing.

We need a monument in the centre of the garden. I know a life size statue of Kanga!

I've just planted a protea white King in my garden, and I think one would look good here. Doesn't require much water, and resemble a lotus flower in my mind.
