So - 14th - 17th

was cold with buckets of rain. Then gorgeous weather, warming, but very high winds. And today it's raining again.

We may have lost all the lawn seeds in the deluge - we'll wait and see.

During the gorgeous patch, I stuck in a couple of oxheart tomato seedlings from the local centre along wiht the eggplants and some zucchini seeds

The plum tree has lost its blossom and gone into beautiful pink leaves. Got to identify the white tree - it's so beautiful and full of wrens.

The job today for Paul is to spray (Acelepryn) for grubs, using 90ml for the entire property. Usually this would be done mid-Sept, but we have a lot to get through. . This is the latest in his maintenance jobs - last week he sprayed (Confidor)  for scale on the Viburnum ( broadleafed hedge) at the front and sides.

In June, he and David Prior dead-headed all the front garden plants that required it,. David pruned the roses in late August. 


We drove out to the abandoned saleyards Paul had  found up on the road to the Wombeyan Caves today, and collected the promised fence posts for the new walk into the chamomile lawn. And I got a few for the vegie garden as well.  They are so very pretty  :)  

Fen (AW) mentioned today that blossoms on determinate plant (esp chillies, eggplant, bush tomatoes) should be plucked until the bush has reached 1/2 its adult size.
