Catch-up

Its hard to believe but we have just had rain, at least a dozen drops. We have been promised more rain by the weather gurus but we have lost faith in their forecasts. We are in drought conditions and lots of bush fires around. I think at last count their were over 100 currently burning in NSW. I can't remember drought like this before and our government just talk about water management and do nothing.
Despite the very dry conditions, our garden still manages to look good and give us pleasure. I have been doing a lot of cutting back and with the help of a big mulching machine borrowed from a friend, we now have a mountain of mulch to spread around and keep any ground moisture in.

I know! but honestly it was the only way to do it and I was very careful. Everything was lashed down securely.

A reminder of Beckys wedding back in 2002. This Azalea was part of the flower arrangements, was planted in the garden and is still doing well.
