Last weekend we went to the local native nursery and bought some more plants: banksia, wattle and a native grass. I took over my ex-onion bed and planted them there. Although I'm going to leave this desperate and unloved lot within the year, I wanted to leave some more drought tolerant native plants for the birds to enjoy.
This weekend, we were in Sydney and checked out a nursery there to see what plants we could grow next year on our balcony. To my excitement they had dwarf banana trees and lychee trees! ! My dreams of a tropical balcony will come true very soon! ^_^ Above is one of the natives I nurtured when it finally bloomed.

It sounds like you are getting really excited and enthusiastic about moving! Moving is SUCH a big job, though, I don't envy you all that work. Are you relocating very far? It seems that the farther the move, the more work and time and planning it takes. You were smart to visit the area and check out local things. I hope the move goes smoothly, and try not to let all the details stress you out! |

I'd like to come down under and help you move, I've always wanted to go to Australia. My son and his family were there last year and mailed me a flash drive with hundreds of pictures. Just made me long more for the trip, but now, a perfect excuse to go, to help you move. Opps, I forgot, I'm almost paralyzed, you would have to be carrying me around with the boxes. Sorry about that. I do wish you a smooth move and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

It does look like a bottle brush. Is it? It's pretty. : ) |

Yes - it's a bottlebrush. A well positioned balcony is one of our main criteria for a new apartment! |
