Garden Shenanigans

This mulch pile is one of two that we have been working on distributing round our place for the past 6 months or so. E and S LOVE to play in the trailer while R is either loading or unloading it, and it is a sure fire way to have happy, filthy children.



Picking mandarins from our bumper crop this year. Suze learnt to peel and eat them very quickly, and ended up treating the trees as her own personal snack bar. The only negative was the tendency to go for the ones lying on the ground…

Our winter picnic spot in the front garden.

Four peaches we actually managed to harvest before the cockatoos got to them!

Some of our plant dreams have been realised with the addition of this black tulip magnolia.

One of our favourite new plants, ‘Hydrangaea Red Ball’ blooming beautifully in front of R’s bedroom window.

One of our million gardenias – one of the nicest things about the front borders.

The aftermath of putting together our new trampoline on a 40C day…

R and kids enjoy some fun in the blessedly cool shade.
