Now is a great time of year to get planting and see what critters you can find in the garden.

It has taken many years for this particular peach tree to produce a decent crop. But finally enjoying the fruits of my labour 🍑😋
Once it has completely finished fruiting it will be time for another prune. 🪚

Have you got this w**d growing in your garden?

Instead of buying pre packaged sh*te grown in sterile soil, devoid of any nutrients.

Eat this instead...

Common Purslane or Portulaca oleracea
is not only edible but extremely nutritious.

A good substitute for spinach, watercress or rocket. It has a tangy yet refreshing flavour.

It is regarded as a superfood and often used in fancy restaurants as a garnish.

It is packed with Vitamins A, C, E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron as well as high amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Also a natural remedy for insomnia.

Chooks love it too! 🐔

If you want your lawns and garden to survive and thrive this Summer, a decent wetting agent (not from Bunnings) is a must!

It will ensure the precious water you're applying is actually penetrating the soil and not running off. ✌️💧🌿🌸

Also Queen Annes Lace is such a magnet for all sorts of beneficial critters. If anyone wants any seeds, hit me up..(I will probably chuck some in your garden anyway 🤭)

I Don't think this grapevine had been pruned in a while... the jungle has been cleared and has revealed a hidden ladder, tap and pathway!

This morning I pruned 3 Olives, 4 Camellias, 2 Grevilleas and an Agonis hedge, all in under 2 hours 😉

I think I deserve some sort of efficiency bonus, or at the very least a beer.🍻

This garden has been neglected for 4 years.
I used to do it regularly and I was sad to see it in such a state. However I know the new owners obviously have other priorities and either way I'm glad I could help get it a bit tidier for them. At the end of the day what goes around come around✌️🌼🌞🌿🌸
