I know, I know, I know – we should be able to live a life without the internet but I just can’t. We can’t – You and I together – our relationship cannot exist without internet.
Mercy there I go – starting my day with a complaint!
Anyway the person is coming today to install something – I have no idea what (fibre)? and hopefully it will solve the problems of me having to wait until my daughter wakes up – or comes home- so I can take advantage of her unlimited data and hotspot and be in touch for a while.
I have plugged my keyboard into my phone which is making things easier! The laptop on the hotspot is just too too slow.
No farm pictures today due to the ABOVE!
But I am assured all is going well. Though Him Indoors will be glued to his IPad in my absence and never checks his messages (he is the worst communicator in the world). So I am relying on Rhonda.

Every window has a point of view.
The view of the garden is another important component to where I place the first gardens. It is a vanity (not necessary) but I LOVE looking out at my vegetable gardens.
When I used to visit the big castle gardens in Somerset and Kent (UK) I would end up spending most of my time sitting on a bench in the walled vege gardens. Dreaming. I loved them. Imagine that for a job! I learned heaps just by watching and chatting with the gardeners.
Check out the neighbours plants.
Next on my list is to yarn with the neighbours about the soil and the conditions. Our house is on a rise and the top soil seems to be paper thin. I have checked out the neighbourhood to see what other people are growing. Lots of roses but also lots of dry sandy-ground plants. I call them beach plants.
So – yeah – nah – we are not going the way of the agapanthus. Though I do love spraying the spent blooms with gold paint for parties.
We will be doing raised beds for sure.
I am doing my old budget trick of buying the healthiest plant in the (most outrageously expensive) garden centre and taking cuttings.
OK!
I am late getting this published.
Take Care – good care – and Talk Soon.

The web connection sounds positive!
You should see the nuns’ beautiful walled garden at Lanherne House.
I thought a bit more about the rabbits and looked up “Melbourne Rabbit Rescue”. There are a few rescue centres and it might be worth contactng them before somebody calls pest control. They are classified as vermin, so a rescue might save them. Both of Audrey’s rabbits were rescued and neutered.
I quite enjoy being inside your head while you figure out this garden creation. That is a great tip about buying a big healthy plant to then grow cuttings. Good luck!
Enjoy your holidays regardless of what you choose ot do…:}
At least you are actually buying the parent plant. I have a friend with a wonderful riotous tropical garden. She did not buy a single plant in it, but instead shamelessly begged, borrowed and outright stole cuttings from friends, neighbours, strangers and yes, even garden centres. She would dumpster dive for poor stragglers and restore them to life.
glad you are finding a way, as always. love the idea of the mother plant and growing the babies
It sounds like raised beds are definitely the way to go! And will make it easier for weed control, fertilization, growth and managing the garden.
You are right! We can not live without the internet anymore.
