I no longer garden here
--
I started out doing all my gardening here & in my porch garden because it was winter & this was where the sun was. I’ve now realised that when dealing with Australian sun, to take the phrase ‘Full Sun’ with a grain of salt…
I inherited this garden as a weedy wasteland and have partially rehabilitated it (although the weeds are doing their best to take it back). In detangling the weeds I found some gorgeous jasmine vines & have trained them up the porch railings, planted a row of lavender bushes along the path, added some nasturtiums… plus a lot of pots of vegetables. The vegetables are in pots because this is a heavily industrial area & as well as the soil being clay-as-hell, I’m a bit concerned about chemical contamination.
