Note to self: unpack bags of garden waste from the car when you arrive home… not the following morning! Lol 🕷️

This little guy was very keen to help with the weeding; as long as he could eat all the bugs and lizards we uncovered.

Winter has arrived in Brisbane I love having a deciduous tropical birch (betula nigra) tree in the backyard. The fallen leaves not only look great, but they mulch my garden. And the bare branches allow the afternoon sun onto our verandah. Winning!

Funny story: Cris and I were heading home the other day, after our morning of gardening, when she spotted a hitchhiker in the back seat (I was driving). I must admit I was relieved to see it was a bearded dragon, not a snake, that had caught her eye. Fortunately we hadn’t gone very far, so our new friend could be returned to his home garden.

All my potted plants are safely inside and protected from the winds of Cyclone Alfred. The family are not exactly thrilled about the increase in spider webs, but I’m loving the look!!! 😀
