A Day In The Garden
Hi everyone, My Good friends Ron and Irene arrived last Thursday, was lovely to see them again.Ron played golf a couple of days on those days Irene and I did some shopping and visited Gwen and my sister Pauline were we had a chat and a cuppa before returning home.Then the last few days we spent a few hours in the garden.
After spending 8days with me Ron and Irene went home today.
I hope to get around to visiting you all in the next few days

Now to end with a few photo's.
The 1st photo was taken when Carol (Cazz) and Ian stayed the weekend. and Ian did a few jobs for me.
Ian moved my newly transplanted Stag in basket out of the fernery to the front post were it should grow and cover the basket in a few months, Also you can see Ian hanging my Cockatoo.
Galah's
My Briar Rose rose in need of a good prune, Ron volunteered to get the ladder out and was soon cutting it back, while Irene and myself supervised and helped clean the mess up .
Coral tree in flower
My Coral tree was starting to make a mess dropping all its leaves so I was able to cut back all the lower branches, when Ron and Irene arrived I ask him to get the ladder out and finish it for me as you can see he did.
Bingo!! No mess all cut back
Crepe Myrtle in flower
I pruned the Crepe Myrtle back a couple of weeks ago.It had white powdery mildew all over it, Oh what a mess it was making dropping all the spent flowers and leaves..
All cleaned up tools put away was time for a cuppa.
or was that a Brandy and Dry ginger.
CHEERS.

Your garden looks very nice ! I just came inside after my second sun bath this year ! It's so nice outside 19° but in the sun it's almost hot ! It's soooo good to feel the warm sun on my old bones,lol !
Hi Jan, your garden sure does look very nice!! I'm envious, but it is like a little red hen thing, we don't do all the work you do and probably wouldn't.
It is nice too having the fellows do some of the things that are pretty tough for you.
You sure had a nice visit with Cazz, I can't remember where it is she lives. It must be quite a ways away to stay that long.
You have a lot of blogging to catch up with also. I may do some more weeding while I'm catching up. Our Ireland stay was nice, we have some pictures for eventually posting.
Cheers,
..
Jan ~ They were ALL beautiful... but WOW that Coral Tree and it's flowers were just AWESOME!
I know what you mean about the noise in the Hard Rock! (Not really a place to relax!)
You'll more than likely have been to my next couple of posts as well!
CHEERS! ~ jb///

I love the Coral tree in bloom. It sure is pretty. All your flowers look great. Where is the wheel barrel? Glad you had a great time with friends and such helpful ones at that. Peace
Dear Jan ~~Your garden looks wonderful and I am glad you got some help with the higher and heavier jobs
Thank you for your comments and I am sorry the birds didn;t treat you nice
at Currumbin. Glad you enjoyed the jokes. Take care, my friend, Love,
Merle.
Don't you love it, when things are pruned and neated-up?!?
Wish you luck with the *funnnnnnnn* {Not!} of the C. testing. I do hate the prep for that. But after the prep work, the rest is "a piece of cake." :-)

Hi again Jan ~~ Thank you for your visit and glad you enjoyed the jokes
and there seems to be quite a lot of us ADULTS who are growing in the middle.
It is good that the Anzac marches and
dawn services are getting bigger crowds everywhere. It has been a bit cooler last couple of day.Take care
Love, Merle.
Hi Jen, Everything looks so nice and how wonderful that the friends helped out. Many hands make work light!

The coral trees are lovely but they can make a mess. My crepe myrtle has stopped flowering but the allamandas are still going and the bromeliads are just starting. Things never stand still in a garden, do they? There's always something ending or starting.
Anyway, Jen, your garden looks lovely now after all the hard work. Now you can sit back and enjoy it...until next time!
Oh Oh OH I want a coral tree.
I tried crepe myrtle once. I don't have a green house, tho
and winter around here kills
Hello there, I came over from Biker Bobs place and I'm glad I did.
The pictures are beautiful! I love the Coral Tree is bloom! It's lovely.
Hi Jen. It's great that you were able to spend quality time with friends.
You have a lovely garden. I love that Briar Rose arch you have. It's great that you had some help doing all those work in the garden. Must have been tiring but everything looks worth it.
Oh my, I want to come sit in your garden and just relax and enjoy. Its beautiful!
I wish I had a garden like that... but living across from the beach... the ground is very sandy and you have alot of salt air coming off the beach... Plumbagos and Palm Trees for me...
Hi Jan, we are back at Wudinna and Vicki seems to have survived the trip OK, 600 km is a long way when you don't feel too good.
So far the medication seems to be working, there has already been 3 adjustments in dosage but as long as it keeps her going thats OK.
I always love to see photos of your beautiful plants. It's such an inspiration for someone like me who can't manage to keep houseplants alive.
Hello Jeanette !! How are you ? I just love looking at all the photos you have of your flower beds, and you gardens. I still have a ton of snow !! It's supposed to be spring right now....I don't see it LOL !! Take care!! Many blessings sent to you . Cheers !!
Hi Jeanette,
Your Cockies look like your Galahs.
You have a beautiful garden, and Ron did a fine job on your briar rose.
Janice~
G'day mate. I think that is how you say it. My wife loved the pictures of your garden. If she had her way our yard would be covered with every plant imaginable. Thank goodness I have some say in it. OK, OK, I thought your garden looked very nice too. Women!!!
Wow, your garden and patio is beautiful....
