Yesterday's rain was very much welcomed! 🌧 El Nino means these events may be less frequent this season, with long dry spells in between. Harvesting as much rain as possible will help your garden through those dry spells - put every piece of roof to work to maximise water capture with even the briefest of showers - your garden will love you for it! 😊

Is this the tree that we should all have in our yard? Eucalyptus Curtisii, Plunkett Mallee, Brisbane Mallee - all names that it goes by - a true endemic species to our area - now protected and listed as 'near threatened' due to land clearing.
We planted a small one in our backyard about 18 months ago, and look at it now! They are a beautiful small tree (6-7m) and produce honey scented blooms that attract native bird life....what's not to love??

Getting the gardens ready for a scorcher today - it's a great idea to plan water tanks and irrigation into any garden design. Going to be even more important with El Nino now declared this season!

Petrea Volubilis is flowering right now! It gives a very similar show to Wisteria, but will flower even in northern temperatures . This example is from a client's garden I worked on today - looking good! ♥️

I love a crunchy gravel pathway! Just put the final topping of decomposed granite onto the path for my new garden shed project - this has been a pretty big effort with 5 ton of road base, 3 ton of deco and I lost count of the bush rocks and mortar! (Oh yeah, there was also building the shed!!)
Love how the bush rock edges on the garden blend into the Deco pathway. Pretty happy with the progress so far - Still have paving to do on the upper section and rocks to install on the ramp-downs for the path - that's for another weekend...
Couldn't help myself....had to bring out the mower to test the turning circle area with some 'zero turn donuts'! 😁
Thanks to Andy at West Side Concreting Pty ltd for the millimetre-perfect slab, Southern Cross Sheds for the custom shed kit, Kennards Hire (Indooroopilly branch) for a bunch of machinery and Centenary Landscaping Supplies for pretty much all the rest of the materials!

We have some new regular visitors - a pair of Pale-headed Rosella's have taken a liking to the Grevilleas in the front garden! ❤️ They are very shy so haven't managed to get a good photo yet, but lovely to see them every day.

I've been looking forward to this moment - have been maintaining this bougainvillea hedge for about 6 months for a client - now we get to enjoy the show! ❤️
