Yesterday I posted about our scheduled power outage. I looked for a picture to go with it and I chose an old picture of our garden (because there is a power line running along the boundary).
And then when I looked at that picture...

We have been busy doing some renovations in our garden and one activity was to trim down plants which is normally done just after the monsoon.
There is a technique for doing it correctly and apparently we seem to have done it...

Most plants need pruning sometimes shallow and sometimes deep. Deep pruning results in robust new shoots but one has to be careful while doing it. The right time has to be chosen for it.
Our gardener did some deep pruning at a...

We prune our flowering plants once a year. This Hawaiian Hibiscuss was also pruned and we got the first bloom this morning.
We have just one of this variety and most hibiscus flowers that we had have died. We do have colour in...

I only have a small garden so I sometimes have to look for miniature versions of some of my favourite plants so I was pleased to find a dwarf buddleia. I cut it back a bit last winter and I began to think that this year it was...

I've been dead heading my Floribunda rose regularly and it seems to have paid off.
This little beauty is just showing it's pretty little pink face to the world and what a joyful thing it is. Sadly, the same can't be said of...

Our fig tree was getting a bit large so last night, armed with a saw and some secateurs I began cutting it back a bit. The growth at the bottom of the tree was shooting out a little bit too rapidly and, as we need height rather...

I do not know if I posted a discussion before about our grapevine bearing some grapes. I posted some pictures on FB.
My sister pruned the vines after I picked the fruits- and they were sweet.
Two Saturdays ago, our laundry woman...

I finished the last two parts of mowing I needed to do less than an hour ago. I am sweaty, and I am really looking forward to a great shower.
But first I am going to go harvest my lavender blooms, so that they will bloom again...

Here in Australia we are in the last few weeks of winter, which means that it is time for me to get out and prune my roses. Last spring I had just moved into this house, and it was the first time I had ever pruned roses. I didn't...

This morning life has been difficult. Outside, the workers are cutting up the trees. The electric saw hurts my ears, but I have to accept it.
In the morning, while I was mylotting a bit, I heard a bell ringing. I went out to ask...

Good morning, dear lotters. Today we have a lot of things to do in my garden after Claudia´s work yesterday with the pruning shears.
She was afraid that robbers would hide on a shrubbery I have near the door so she cut off many...

After the conversation with Leticia, I decided that we would need a helper for the most difficult things from now on. Leticia will not get completely well and I like a tidy house and garden.
So I made a deal with Marco. He will...

I really get lost in my garden doing all sorts of interesting things.
My husband cuts branches off shrubs and I help pull them away, to the other end of the property. Raking up leaves from trees, planting out Butternut squash...

We had our first frost of the year last night so I decided today would be a good day to prune our lemon trees a little bit. But I found that there are many buds on them that will be blooming in a day or two. I hope they don't get...

When I bought my house several years ago, it had only one previous owner... a senior lady who had become wheelchair bound. She was a former avid gardener and missed being able to get outside. She told me about the magnolia she had...
