Another busy Autumn Sunday in the garden. After the usual "Buddy run" in preparation for mowing the lawn, Lisa and Lily decided it would be fun to grab a picnic blanket and have morning tea out the front. It seemed pointless trying to cut the grass around them so I deiced to weed the garden out the front.
The soil is a nice dark and rich colour - it looked so good I couldn't resist sowing a few seeds in it. This is the garden outside the lounge room window by the way.
I planted some Giant Delphinium (http://www.yates.com.au/GardenCalendar/July_06/XSeedofMonthJul06.asp) seeds and also a few shallot seeds - after all what's the point of having a garden if you can't eat it!
Anyway - finished cutting the grass and then decided it was time to take action against the growing levels of black spot on the roses. I used a concentrate spray called Rose Shield and while mixing it noticed it also controlled rust on oranamentals - Remembering that the leaves on the azaleas out the front were a rusty, bronzy colour, I decided to give them a going over too - OK so I'm not entirely an organic farmer!
All in all, it was nice day that was quite productive - sitting here typing this and feeling a slight tinge of sunburn
