Ah... maybe I should restate that for the faint of heart...

Later this year, I'll be 21 years and 10590 days old. Give or take a day. 😛

I'm turning 50 in March next year @Smc

So I'm not far behind you at all...

It sounds so much more impressive when you say I'm 21 plus 10,590 days old...

Woke up this morning at 6am to some fool unloading an excavator on our footpath.

Asked nicely if he could unload it at his jobsite because we have open house tomorrow and I dont want the foot path messed up. Told me he would unload where ever he wanted and nothing I could do about it.

Rude man. 😡🤯🤐

@Smc @Former-Member @Adge <br>@Determined <br><br>My garden I looking nice and green. One fig tree has taken off. Another one is just starting. Thinking about just letting them go and grow real big. I got a peacherine also - however I'm unsure of how well it will do, it needs the ground around the roots build up and secured, as it's on a small Hill and the top soul has washed away and exposed the top of the root base. I've got a collection of potted succulents out the front - they're a pretty sight and good ornamental arrangement. The parsley has come back, there's some nasturtium out there, a few clumps of lemon grass, the pumpkin vines have died down, there's some marshmallow weeds, a snake bush,an elderberry tree. And a few other plants and trees... A Chinese elm tree, an umbrella tree, lambs ear, a couple natives, a jasmine vine, some aloes, a sick, wilted and stunted lemon tree, a lemon balm shrub, a grape vine that looks dead, some stinging nettles, some thistles, a cactus in the corner that's really taking off... Plus other plants... I should do a few hours work out there and fill dome more empty spots... It's a jungle... Eude...

You may have forgotton to attach the picture @eudemonism? I wait with anticipation. 😄

Your garden sounds lovely and full. Except perhaps for unplanned visitors like the thistles. I get those coming up, but right down the back in the area near the creek bank. If you let them get to the point where they've just barely started sending up a flower stalk, then cut through the root just under the leaf crown with a shovel, they don't regrow. They've already invested too much of their energy in the flower stalk to send up another.

Yeah, I've had trouble with soil drifing away from hillock planted trees too. It is a good way to grow them, but you have to watch out until the soil stabilises.
