Some garden pictures

A warm day today 23 degrees Celsius for a bright sunny winter day making gardening a bit of fun in the warm air wondering around doing a bit of pruning I just chop up the leaves and use them as mulch creating a natural process of feeding the garden.

Thanks the winter sunlight is the best for photography but the blue sky in Australia makes it the first time i traveled overseas upon returning to Australia I couldn’t believe how blue the sky was after being in Europe.

Days have been in the double figures all week but the wind has a nasty bite to it. Weeds are a real bother right now and I have to water constantly. I am just seeing the garden as a chore lately and getting no pleasure from it.  Hopefully this flat feeling will wear off soon.

@peachy I hope it comes around for you. It can be tedious when weeds are relentless. For me , it is Spring . The last two wet years were pretty bad with the weeds. I would pull every one of them and a week later , more. That is not fun , or if I find any palms that aren’t happy after looking after them all winter. 
    Richard’s garden pictures always make me want to tend to my little garden . I don’t have 5 acres to do so I feel bad when I complain to my wife. Harry

Yes some warm days was nice to have but that wind we have been getting is real cold one I work on a farm and the first thing to start growing with warm weather is the weeds total elimination is pretty well impossible control is about all you can do weeds  will always be around i pretty well much have no weeds in my nursery but I still get the odd weed so iam forever controlling them never eliminating them if I was to ignore even one weed it soon turns into a dozen or more than the problem begins one year of seeds becomes 7 years of weeds is the old saying on the farm it’s one of the biggest ongoing costs in farming in Australia then it gets down to the environment suffering with chemicals in the ecosystem look at the cotton industry near Moree in nsw one full truck load of roundup is used every week in the growing season that’s a lot of chemical so once again the environment losses just for weed control don’t even get into the amount of fungicides and insecticides used that’s another dilemma I don’t even eat the fruit at work anymore that much chemical is used but definitely wash your fruit and vegetables that’s for sure!
