...and June 2008
Way better than a McGarden
That does look sensational, the plants are doing well!
Great work!!
BRILLIANT!
You're going to have all those Colourbond moment people fainting all the time, better keep a bottle of smelling salts on hand.
beautiful TDL, it looks great I bet you and the family get heaps of enjoyment out of it.

Thanks for your kind words....and very happy with the progress of the plants
@Fu...yep minimal work because I prefer a less "structured" garden...my theme is ...umm...er...."green".
An ornamental pear which will be unlikely to see the end of winter...stupid plant....very disappointing.
Once it's loses it's leaves it will be re-bare rooted and planted elsewhere or I may not bother with it at all...I give plants 12 months if they don't like their home I generally find a less pleasant place for them...it has a green lid!

The yard is looking good!
That's some impressive growth since the last update.
Me too. I binned three plants yesterday. I gave them fair warning; scolded them a couple of months ago and told them if they didn't perform they'd be compost.
Who can be bothered with namby-pamby plants that want constant attention?

TDL, Can I suggest a fantastic tree for that very spot? Well stuff ya cause I'm gonna Anyway
Ginkgo biloba
Loves the heat, loves the cold and is one of the most ancient living things alive on earth today. It has a leaf structure that predates plants that have complex veins running all over the leaf. The Gingkos have straight veins like grass does. Old, very old.
It would rock in that spot.
A Chinese Tallow would as well

It's possible but a soak well is usually much larger. Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type? Soak wells need sandy soils.
