Weekly Garden Update - Week 1 2007
After a few requests from some readers for more photos of our garden I thought I would add an ongoing series that I would try and keep up to date every Saturday. I will try and show you what plants are doing well, those that aren't and even some of the projects we are currently embarking upon.
Here's the first instalment.
Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Read on if you're after the transcript because you can't see the slideshow.
Slide 1: Our Home Garden Weekly Update
Slide 2: What’s Working Our Crepe Myrtle is flowering abundantly and looking the best it ever has.
Slide 3: What’s Working Our Agapanthus are going beserk. Each stem is well over 2m (6.5ft) tall.
Slide 4: What’s Working This fuschia is looking unbelievably gorgeous
Slide 5: What’s Working Our Pink Gaura (Butterfly Bush) is also flowering profusely.
Slide 6: What’s Working Our new addition to our cottage garden, this Penstemon has fitted in beautifully.
Slide 7: What’s Not Our Tahitian Lime is struggling even after a dose of Iron Sulphate. Some Chelated Manganese is the next remedy to try.
Slide 8: What’s Not Our gorgeous Ricinicarpos (Wedding Bush) got flattened in a recent storm. We ended up having to remove it.
Slide 9: Projects on the Go Our shed is finally getting dressed up and looking a little more respectable.
Slide 10: Projects on the Go Our pergola is now being semi-completed. The roof trusses are finished and should be installed next week.

Lovely garden, beautiful flowers. What zone are you in?

Thanks for the tour of your lovely garden, Stuart. It's very interesting to see that you're like the rest of us, with several projects going on at the same time.
I don't have to be envious of your Crepe Myrtles, Agapanthus or Gauras, but I miss being able to grow Fuchsias - they apparently despise Texas.

Carol - our plant hardiness zone would be the equivalent of USDA 10. Our climate would be very similar to the bottom of Florida and parts of California.
Annie - My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing what's happening in our garden.

Gorgeous, Stuart! So this is why you've been holding back--so we don't get too jealous. :)

Kim - I honestly didn't think anyone would be all that interested actually!!
I've been proved wrong and will continue this little weekly update.
