The ground is covered with native plants 🌱 this used to be an ignored patch of lawn but now it’s a little habitat. It doesn’t look like lawn or grass but I think it’s a lovely alternative - and bonus bush tucker, with edible berries for me, lizards and birds. #GardeningAu #Gardening
Close to the ground image of dichondra and dianella berries, small and bright blue. In the background are the strappy leaves of morning iris. The papery white/grey trunk of a melaleuca tree stands close with parts of a clear blue sky. A close shot of small round bright blue berries (maybe they are a fruit?). The background is blurred bright green leaves, low to the ground.

The guests have arrived! Galahs, cockatoos and parrots enjoying the sunflower seeds. After I enjoy the flowers, the birds enjoy the seeds. #gardeningAu #Gardening

Two Corellas and a red capped parrot are perched on sunflower plants. One Corella grasps a sunflower in its claw and holds it to its beak. The pat h of sunflowers is a garden bed surrounded by a lawn with a small suburban road in the background. A Pink and Gray Galah is perched on top of sunflower plants looking towards a Corella that has its white wings outstretched as it comes to land nearby. The scene is in an Australian suburban frontyard with the road visible in the background.

Australian summer bush flowers! A beautiful bunch gathered from my verge and public verge that features the pom pom flowers of red-eye wattle and showy honey-myrtle. The flax lily berries are such an amazing colour!

Vase of flowers loosely arranged with abundant leaves and small flowers and berries visible. A close up shot showing detail of Dianella (purple) berries, Acacia Cyclops (yellow) flowers and melaleuca flowers in their different mauve colours. The same vase of flowers from a different angle with a sneaky kitty in the background- features the wax flowers (chamelaucium) and honey-myrtle (melaleuca) flowers in their shades of pink and mauve.

Australian hibiscus

Messy tree, drops stuff everywhere. Flowers start off pale yellow but end up blood orng colour and just as you go grab the camera, the flower jumps off the tree... frustrating.

This month has been trying in many ways but look at my lil baby watermelon!!

#gardeningau
A sugarbaby watermelon growing in a garden bed, surrounded by watermelon vines, alyssum and bok choy. The patch has just been watered so there are droplets of water on the melon and leaves.

No wonder they’re tough. The genus is from Southern Africa. I watered it once .. now it’s a clump.

A Ridiculous, frou-frou plant. Dierama / ‘fairies fishing rod’. #gardeningAU
Fairies fishing rod. Pink flowers on long thin stems, like on a fishing rod

A handful of tomatoes from the compost volunteers I planted in Spring! The heatwave and wrong pH has killed this section of the patch so I'll have to rebuild and replant it, but at least these were tasty.

So far so good for the summer garden using herbs as pest control
Cinnamon,Thai & common Basil, coriander, pyrethrum with melons, early marigolds to keep nematodes away from watermelon, shallots & eventually chilli
The mulch is much needed as winds & heat are constant

Lots of rhubarb picked before the heat of the day arrived, giving younger rhubarb time to grow before summer's temperatures burn the foliage, hopefully sugarcane mulch helps with water retention
