The first rule of potting shed is YOU ALWAYS talk about potting shed. The thread continues.

Here goes, and feeling bit cheeky as I didn't post much on the last one.

A fine autumn day here, with much seasonal clearing done. Now I come to think of it, is there ever a non-clearing season? :o

They look like a lovely plant to grow. They wouldn’t last long in a UK garden, not that getting to 40 degrees would be the problem!
After our stop/ go summer the plants are beginning to bloom well. Apart from my Begonias, which seem to be a bit behind.

Ooh begonias. I'd love to grow them, but there isn't an inch of my garden that doesn't get lots of sun at some point all year round (good), but devastatingly so in summer, especially in the afternoon.

Today was unseasonably warm for mid-winter, so out there weed-killing, cutting back and feeding plectranthus ecklonii and salvia Anthony Parker, as well as feeding the stag horn ferns with banana skins.

I have a small pot of wallflower next to the front door that is full west, so the flowers catch the sun and fill the porch with fabulous scent.

Today I picked up three well-grown English lavender so will put them in a long sunny bed with alyssum, all for the bees. Alyssum flowers just about all year-round in Melbourne,

I have two big retaining beds that need repair before I can plant up, so itching to get started.
