Oh wow, I super enjoyed this post!!!! It makes me happy to see you gardening IN AUSTRALIA!!!! I still can't get over that! And you have a good old Vic backyard lemon tree. This year I've had so many I can't give them away - bags and bags full of them and limes. This weather today is pretty wet and must be giving it all a good soak. Me, I'm DYING for better weather so the tomatoes start growing. Generally we don't plant them out til Nov 2 - Melbourne Cup day - but I planted mine with tree guards around them. We're about three weeks behind Melb growing time though, being rural inland.
Great to see herbs planted and the lovely garden with the dog! Haha I've had sooo many blackbirds, but they dont care about my owl! I"ve been finding their nests and eggs to try to keep their numbers under control> this weather cycle has been a bit wierd and there"s more pests than usual>
Thank you @riverflows, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the update. It's beautiful old Vic garden taken care well by my partner. We also have peach, komquat and olive trees in the garden. My neighbors gave us some limes too and we loved it. The weather was so wet this morning. I'm glad the rain stopped and the sun came out. It was a beautiful day for couple of hours and it turned back cloudy, grey and wet..lol. I'm expecting for the better weather too but I think I'm slowly getting used to it. We caught some myna birds here too but we already removed them to somewhere else. Hopefully they won't come back.
We're going to the Ballarat tomorrow. I hope you have a great weekend ahead. ❤️
Oh goodness, you're copping Melbourne weather aren't you - four seasons in a day, they say. Kumquats! I lvoe them. Sounds like a great old Melbourne backyard. Hope you're enjoying life here and enjoy Ballarat! There is a fantastic Spanish restaurant there I adore called - Megas? Magas? - which is my favourite.
