Upcoming Events

I'm supposed to list upcoming events in the Moosey garden on this page. This should force me to be a better organised gardener, planning ahead, preparing properly for new gardening events.

More Adventures in May

In May I have more plans for adventuring in my own back-yard than for the garden. Oops. Cycle trips, and maybe a May hiking trip are on the list of possibles. Probables include weeding, raking, and burning gum tree rubbish. Blast! However there has already been snow on the Otage Rail Trail - I may have left that trip a little late!

The trouble is - all of a sudden the weather has a bite in its mouth and a sting in its tail. Cold southerly winds, snow to lower levels, and just a taste of winter... The big autumn leaf drop has started, and so this month I'll be busy raking and spreading the leaves back onto the garden. Winter is nearly here. Aargh!

New Plans for Non-Gardening Partner

NGP needs something to occupy his mind now that winter's nearly upon us. Naturally I have some plans for him, the most elaborate of which is a small sleep-over shed to be built by the pond. I have explained that other gardeners expect outdoor spa pools and the like, and I am saving him thousands of dollars by only wanting a shed. Hee hee...

Meanwhile I'm spending a lot of time reading on the new rustic garden benches. I wonder where my next garden seat could go? Perhaps in the Hazelnut Orchard, underneath the climbing rose Albertine? Hmm...

Moosey Newsletters

I really enjoy writing the Moosey Newsletters. This month's newsletter is very autumnal, and also features my hiking trip on the Cape Campbell Walkway. There's a subscribers list you can add your name to, if you're interested in receiving your own copy...

Newsletters Still AWOL

Each month I faithfully write them, and send them to my web-master. But I do put them on the site as well - you can download the latest by clicking on this newsletter link.

Moosey Gardening Forums

The Moosey Forums are in full flower! There are so many different friends posting, and lots of funny stories. Garden Gnome gets the prize for the neatest glass-house, and friend Faith's up to something really special. Drop in and say hello yourself!

If you're registering in the forum you'll be shown some little thumbnails of cats and cars - and asked to select the cats. You may be amused, or even slightly annoyed by this, or puzzled. If you have any trouble, let me know at once and I'll do the box-ticking business for you.

Sorry About The Most Valuable Cat Competition

Ginger Puss still hasn't been fixed up - his votes are still invisible, being counted somewhere in the cosmos. And I don't mean that fluffy, flowery annual. I'm sorry, but I can't fix the problem. And the web-master is ignoring me. I mean - I'm only his mother...

Cheers, and all the very best for your gardening May. Late spring or late autumn, rainy or dry season - enjoy! I'll finish with this lovely quote from my latest gardening library book.

Garden and be well.
