The Welcome Garden

Welcome to the Moosey Garden! Just before the fork in the driveway you'll see this sign, in front of the Welcome Garden. It's a new development, full of New Zealand native shrubs. And just maybe Rusty the Dog will be sitting here to say hello to you!

All my friends who have donated me bags and bags of old newspapers will find them here, lying damply underneath a layer of mulch - and hopefully decomposing slowly!

Tough as Old Gardening Boots

This is one garden area which I shouldn't need to weed very often. And the plants have to be as tough as old gardening boots - they're in shade during winter, and the soil gets dried out by the nearby pine and gum trees.

Recently I've mass planted clumps of Agapanthus (they were free as long as I was prepared to dig them out) and plonked a huge variegated Agave in the half winer barrel. Foliage comes first in the Welcome Garden.
