This year I have finally got mangoes, 5 are left and they look like they might do something, there are apples on the trees, grapes on the vines, and the pumpkins look great.
I have put in raspberries and boysenberry and asparagus in this year, hopefully I finally found spot where they will grow well.
The frangipanies have flowers and my water lotus has a flower. Three flowers on the magnolia.
My weeping mulberry fall over in the storm the other day I have transplanted it, at the wrong time I know, all the leaves have fallen off, with all this rain I'm hoping it will survive.
I have planted more cape lilacs along the fence line for the white tail cockatoos they love them', I had 4 and now 7 I have also planted hibiscus in between them. There are so many different types of birds now its amazing, now the trick will be to get native animals in the garden. I did read up on making a bat box, that will be next up the back,
There animals haven't been so lucky, the geese had eleven babies that was good and 5 duckling, between the dogs and crows no chickens yet, had two tries and all the eggs disappeared, hopefully the one sitting now due next Friday will get hers out, there are 11 eggs under her.
This year I have gone mad on water plants in container I have quite a few different ones now,(just in containers I have found around the place), I have so many frogs now and they are so noisy all the time, I have learnt to live with it.
All in all it has been a rewarding year and I just love walking around in the garden, even though I still have portably fencing and tin up around the wire fencing to keep dogs and foxes out, some places are still a bit rough around the edges, but I love it anyway.
