After a couple months of busyness it feels like the yard is in a state of stasis as other tasks and commitments have meant that I haven't done anything more than keep up the water and monitor things. I've got a few potted plants awaiting repotting.
Of course, being a garden, it's not really like that. The seeds in the planter box and some in the garden are throwing up shoots. Those that aren't are putting down roots. Cuttings are mainly staying green, and some are even putting on new leaves. The sunflowers are pushing through their abbreviated cycle, with the first bloomer now dropping its petals as the last bloomer finally displays its first flower. And, of course, the battle against the earwigs continues.
Hundreds of galahs are using the giant pine and the TV tower to rest in the evening and the firetails have been spotted again scouring the peppertree canopy.
Later this week I'll be more active, but in the meantime we have another warm spell about to pass over (low to mid thirties) and, hopefully, a dash of rain.
