Visit 14/15 June

First golf. Poor round, wind was freezing, no excuse, couldn't putt to save myself. The only consolation was that the others weren't much better.
14 mills had fallen in the past fortnight.
The garden is at its lowest ebb at this time of the year. Still there were several things in flower, arctotis, yellow chrysanthemums, light blue felicias, yellow and blue (Winter Joy) wallflowers, Knifophias, some orange and one red and yellow, winter iris,(Unguilaris), white nerines, the wonderful tall blue and reddish scabiosa, plenty of gazanias of all colours, plus the penstemons which are just hanging on.
Plenty of bulb activity. The jonquils and the Magnifique daffodils are starting to form blooms and should be flowering in a month. Bulbs are poking through everywhere. It is hard not to stand on them when weeding. The marguerite daisies are showing distinct signs of distress, following the recent heavy frosts.
I planted a blue perennial lupin which I divided up from one at Hawthorn, plus another yellow chrysanthemum. More Flanders poppy seeds were scattered around and also a variety of corn flower seeds.
Cuttings were taken of a red and white penstemon, smallish blue wallflower and orange arctotis.
The Easter and Michaelmas daisies which were prolific this year, I chopped back to the ground. I may need to dig some out as they keep marching through the garden. Also cut back were all the Japanese Windflowers.
Lorraine and Bill mentioned they had seen rabbits in my backyard. I could see where they had dug up some ground but don't seem to have done much damage so far.
The hedge looks most untidy. Normally it needs to be cut only once a year, in November, but it could certainly do with a trim now.
The Easter spray has been very effective in killing off a lot of the blackberries and broom in the paddock. The spray is supposed to take effect on the gorse in spring. Here's hoping.
