| The garden is full. I've just given away a ute-full of plants for the third time and I've hurled out about 40litres of spring bulbs.
I'm feeling 'been there, done that' and I'm not sure how to get started on something different. Don't want to get into collecting anything or specialising. Major food production isn't called for. No need for huge floral displays. Not into more propagating zillions of natives or other things any more. (Not 'never' but not now, either.) I have been thinking about developing (from zilch!) my artistic flair for placing plant forms, colours, textures. I can do without the turquoise paint and doodads. Or do I settle back to enjoy some garden time free of navvying and major hard labour? Who else has been through this phase and lived to tell the tale? Who else found a new challenge or venture that doesn't need heaps of space or chemical competence? |

| Wish I could help...but I'm still working on geting my garden even 1/2 full! Mums garden is fast approaching the full stage, although she's recently aquired a chipper so has taken to lopping things out to make more room. I like your idea of developing your artistic flair - perhaps you could offer your artistic services to others in your area? That way you get the challenge of playing with plots that you are not familiar with, and shouldn't get that been there, done that feeling. Keeping an eye out for Vetiverts up and coming artistic creations in the news.... |
