#gardenau — Public Fediverse posts

There are going to be several hot days this week. It is a rather nice temperature at the moment though. I gave our street garden and back garden a thorough water tonight in preparation for the heat.

My mother pointed out that a lot of street trees in Melbourne are losing their leaves. It is the start of February so it is too early for deciduous trees to shed their leaves. I suspect that they are stressed because of the lack of sustained rain for several months, on top of a dry winter. We have been regularly watering our street garden for weeks so the tree in the middle of that garden is looking healthy but the other trees in our street not so much.

This photo is of a small garden in front of our garage. The geranium is from a cutting from a street garden in North Fitzroy. The jasmine has grown from a cutting from my mother's garden.

Had Aunty visiting today. Just back home after dropping her off. Took a few extra minutes to have a look at the garden. Couple of her orchids were blooming - very pretty.

Shorter park walk this morning. Had to get back in time to help with mum's telehealth appointment. Stopped to check out the good stuff, like the butterfly amid the dahlia.
