Members of all levels are keeping others inspired to start their own garden or planting new things too your already established Gardens. everyone’s posts whether it’s big or small is appreciated and is inspiring by all members. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but one plant or seedling is all that takes to inspire yourself. Help me out here @Steve Thomas. You are the motivation man.

4am I started researching grape pruning and sun up I started. 12 hours later and lots of jobs ticked off including lifting and potting up plants (before hubby used the brush cutter), pruning and tying up tomatoes (more to do), dehydrating herbs, harvesting and weeding. In venturing into our jungle of pepinos and grass left way too long, I found a lost bag of manure and an infestation of black scale. Those nasty things will be getting a shower of home made white oil to kill them. They have been an issue before and the amount of ants we have here doesn’t help. Lots of sunny days now in Melbourne, so the quicker I can get the weedy areas under control the better!

Not exactly what I thought mild yellow cayenne peppers would be like…

I’ve been experimenting with layering plants of different heights to create depth in small garden spaces. It makes even a balcony feel lush and dynamic! Has anyone else tried this approach? Would love to see your results..
