Have been to my cousins house in coburg
He asked me if I wanted any plants as he was thinning out some of his
Well you know my moto. There’s always room for plants
So off we went this morning and came home with the back of the ute full
There were six date palms
Four have gone here and two are in the paddock. Hopefully they grow nice and lush
Hubby with his post hole digger. Makes planting so easy
There were quite a few agaves so they have been planted around the center to hopefully
Make a kind of boarder
There was one really big one. So we planted that one in the middle where there

Was a big space
So our garden is getting bigger
But at least I won’t have much weeding to do lol
It’s always lovely to get stuff for free
Recycling at its best
They have already made a huge difference to the look of the yard
And the date palms have replaced dead trees so that was an instant face lift
The rain is about to start again so they will be well watered in
A very productive Sunday
See ya xx
Date palms! That sounds so exotic. You'll have to get a camel for your menagerie now lol. I would love a date palm Hope they all grow well. So nice that you got them free too. Makes it even more exotic, well awesome. How big do the argaves grow? They remind me of something that grows down near the harbour and they are huge. May not be the same thing of course. People use the sap in the leaves to relieve aches and pains in joints. Rub it on.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how big they grow. I know they do have lots of babies that you separate and replant.
DeleteI don’t think I’d like a camel. They spit lol
Sure different plants and what we grow here
ReplyDeleteI’d love to see the plants you grow
DeleteDate palms don't look like the kind of tress that cats can lurk in. They make the place look exotic tho, don't they. F says gardens should be full of plants that have other people's names on them - contributions from all over, like having family and friends around you all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. Yes I have plenty of donation plants. With my place being as big as it is people will often think I might like it if they have spares
DeleteNo cats wouldn’t like these. They have spikes which is great as the rabbits won’t eat them. I hope!
Free plants! That's wonderful that you could pick them up and put them in straight away. The date palms will look amazing when they grow. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteAnd the rain came just as we put the last of the plants into the ground. Perfect
