Sunny 35°C / 95°FThe garden has been a bit neglected over the last few months with the scorching hot days we’ve been having this Summer. Plus we’ve been a bit distracted with the new addition to the household a Rottie x Staffy pup called Lexi. Lexi is absolutely loving her big backyard and getting her...

Summer has ended and we are now into Autumn here in Perth

Campfire Succulents Like The Tough Love
Campfire Potted Succulent , Campfire Potted Succulent Transplanted, and Container gardenSunny 38°C / 100°F
When I first bought this succulent it fell over in the car and knocked the top off it basically snapping it in half. I nearly threw it straight into the bin when I got home but figured I’d give it a chance and tried to dig it into the soil when I replanted it in a nice pot and being a succu...

The vegetable garden is looking good enough to eat. Seriously, I feel like a monster stalking back and forth sizing up whether anything is big and plump enough for eating yet!

Storms 24°C / 75°F
I was a bit cheeky when I visited my parents farm over the weekend, I noticed they had a garden full of flowers growing in abundance and they had the same flowers I was going to buy to go around the gum tree in the backyard. You can guess what happened next … armed with a shovel and a big g...

Sunny 22°C / 72°FWe don’t want to do anything too permanent in the backyard or spend a lot of money as we plan to subdivide and build on it in the future. But there’s no excuse for it to look like a forgotten woodland either! So it was time to do something about the dead forgotten lawn which is now sand and weeds...
