My Garden

Part of my garden

Looks very nice, well kept. Do you have any fruit or nut trees?

 

[Australian]

Only have a couple of Lisbon lemons. Don't have any nut trees. They are more for the coastal area. We are too high for macadamias which are very common toward the coast from us. A few people around here are into chestnuts.

Another garden scene. I have 140 roses in my garden. Love gardening along with our cattle and grand kids.

Beautiful roses. I like your raised beds and the edging. Very neat looking. Do you have much trouble with blackspot on your roses?

BTW - as I opened the thread a breeze brought the smell of florida jasmine by my nose. At first I thought I was smelling your roses. :lol2:

Most rose breeders get black spot. I get some because we get a fair bit of misty weather being on the edge of the tableland country. I use only natural sprays. I keep the fertiliser up to them. i put slow realease after they get their new leaves on and then I give them a good water with sea weed fertiliser every two to three weeks. I lightly prune them mid summer which extends their flowering well into autumn. I nearly always water them after dark. I'll post a few more pics soon.

Princees De Monaco a rose that blooms well and lasts a long time.

Cows, flowers, and grandkids. Doesn't get any better than that.

Have you tried any of the Knock Out roses yet? Not nearly as pretty as the teas but they seem to have a lot going for them.
