Homecoming.

Yes we are home again but more of that later.

Its fine to have an extended holiday but it just proves that you shouldn't go away for a long time and leave a garden to its own devises, even in an Australian Winter.



The orange trees were bending under the weight of fruit.



As were the grapefruits.



Friends and neighbours had used as many as they could but there were still plenty to be striped off the trees.



Alex with just one of the many loads striped from the grapefruit trees.



Dont talk to me about weeds!! This is the rose bed that I started to weed before the thought of a photograph occurred to me. Some weeding has been done.



This will give some idea of the height of the weeds!!



Here the weeding is complete, the roses have been pruned and are being fed.



Some mulch has been applied with more to follow.

There have been many trips to the tip and many more to come as we now start the cutting back of winter growth and shrubs etc. So much to do!
