The summer season is here and the plants are appreciating all the mulch which
was spread so thickly during our winter months. This task has reduced weed
growth to almost zero and our water consumption is proving to be quite
dramatically reduced.
Salad Days
As promised our summer picture of the vegie patch shows our tomatoes and corn
are growing rapidly. Fresh peas and zucchini are delicious and it's the time for
daily visits to collect fresh lettuce leaves, herbs and vegetables for our
salads.
Cooling Off
Not all of our time is taken up by working in our garden. We enjoy using our
spa and swimming pool during warm lazy days catching sunbeams and relaxing. Many
trees in our garden provide us with delightful shady nooks.
Splashes of Colour
We've planted hardy pelargoniums in the areas enjoying full sun, so they give
colourful surprises in various parts of our garden. These eye-catching plants in
the picture have nestled in contentedly along part of the rockery, keeping
company with our ivy geraniums spilling over a fence. Neither require much water
or attention.
In the background one of our native Melaleuca Trees (Honey-myrtle or
Paper-bark) can be seen in full bloom.
