Saturday, 2 August 2008 Today's diary Today's images top next last

High time for garden work, and did some transplanting. We have a number of what we had thought were Olearias until Laurel Gordon put me right and confirmed that it's a Marguerite daisy. There were a number of these bushes in far too cramped conditions in the north bed, so on transplanted two of them to a border to the south-east paddock:

They're a bit lop-sided; hopefully they'll pick up when they have space to grow.

Our work had spectators. While taking the photos above, discovered some of them:

Also transplanted some Gazanias and some Dianthus which we had planted in inadequately prepared soil which is now so overrun with weeds that we can't really do anything. Instead, we'll let them grow elsewhere and plant something else where they were once we have done our weeding. It's amazing how much root they have developed in a little over three months of autumn. Planted the Gazanias at the north:

I'll be interested to see how they change in the course of time.

In the Spring we got a single piece of Carpobrotus glaucescens, which we pulled apart and planted in the succulent bed. The bed proved too small, and it just about smothered everything else in it. Now we've pulled it out and planted some of it along the east border of the big bed:

The remainder (on the left in this photo, which also shows the overgrown beds after removing the plants) will have to go to Chris.
