Fitzy side garden

Ive called this garden border my Fitzy Side Garden as my neighbours are the Fitzgeralds & that made sense to me!  In here are two gorgeous rocks!! Hahahaha, no seriously I have planted an acacia, euphorbia, Leucadendron, scaevola & salvia, not that you can really tell any of that at the moment.

But you can see some of the paving of my little path which Im quite pleased with.

Below is the other part of the border, here we have cordyline, alstoemeria,  osteospermum, pittosporum, aloe, & agapanthus.

We have had a lovely drop of rain, 20mls on top of these little lovely's which should settle them in nicely.

A few pots

Just fiddling around with some little succulents

This is a planter for my mum that I have just redone & am nurturing until they grow a little before I give it to her.

Echeveria Perle Von Nuremburg

A couple of Aloe Fairy Pinks, aeonium, sedum & some unknowns

Another dry winter finished

My little Kalanchoe Barharensis making friends with the birds nest fern

Well we are just coming off the back of another dry winter for the farmers, with well below average rainfall, meaning a scant lot of work for us.  Hopefully all the hard yakka I put into my garden last autumn will pay off - lots of composting & mulching.
I have been quite busy getting my heavy rigid truck licence too, was quite proud of myself to pass first time. Tomorrow Im off to drive the truck & load the chief's plane, my first time on my own!
And also putting our house on the market for round 2 of  punishing home opens ( yuk) again!



 Chrysocephalum Apiculatum sunburst

This little native everlasting is so tough, doesnt need much water & flowers consistantly.

Ptilotus joey
love this native, this is its second year, they really only look good for the first season, should be treated as an annual.

& of course good old aeonium schwartzkop.

Winter

My courtyard plantings of aeoniums are in full growth mode, I have planted various sorts, but cant remember which ones are which!

This one is black rose, but isnt black as its in full shade for the winter

same garden bed in full shade, think this one is sunburst.
