I'm neither an experienced nor a good gardener, but since retiring, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to remedy that situation. These pages are primarily a record of what I've been doing.
Retirement coincided with a move of house. In our old house, in South Australia, we had had a lot of difficulty getting anything to grow. Not so in Dereel: we inherited a garden with a number of plants which we couldn't identify, and especially after installing a bore, things have grown very well.
These pages include:
-
Individual and uncommented photos of plants taken in the first year at Dereel.
-
A garden diary covering the first year in Dereel. It's an extract from my main diary. Since July 2008 I have categorized my general diary, and you can limit it to the gardening entries by selecting the topic Gardening.
-
A list of those plants in the garden that we haven't identified yet. If you know, please contact us.
-
A list of plants in the garden that we have identified.
-
Photos of the flowers in the garden, taken at the end of each month.
-
A list of the plants that Laurel Gordon brought us in October 2009.
In addition, I keep a diary about all sorts of things. You can view gardening-related entries by selecting the appropriate topics at the top.
