Day 238 - 1 May 2016 (A perfect strawberry!)

This little beauty was nonchalantly growing by itself out of one of the pots with bright pink flowers.

Day 240 - 3 May 2016 (Surveying the scene ...)

The garden is enjoying the cooler weather and the autumn rains. It is also looking more lush with the addition of a variety of other plants, in keeping with the rainforest theme, to add a variety of heights and textures. The Black Mondo has been reorganised to form a border along the garden edge at regular intervals. The golden leaves everywhere have been shed by the large Ash tree in the back yard.

Day 196 - 20 March 2016 (Beautiful berries)

Even though the blueberry harvest finished during summer, the strawberries have continued to flourish.

Day 188 - 12 March 2016 (A long hot summer ...)

Despite a number of disconcertingly hot days over summer, the garden survived largely intact. It also benefited from the installation of a soaker hose system (components courtesy of Aldi and Bunnings).

Day 160 - 13 February 2016 (Going bananas!)

A beautiful healthy banana plant donated by a friend as an off-cut from her garden.

Day 166 - 19 February 2016 (Wild strawberries)

A very exciting haul of 'wild' strawberries!

Day 119 - 3 January 2016 (Strawberry harvest)

Lovely to be able to pick such nice little strawberries, packed with flavour!
