September pics.

Post by canadianplant » Sun Sep 09, 2012 6:58 pm

So, I recently got a better job, and have been working a lot. My original intention for my yard is to just plant, tinker, and let it be. I didnt plan to just leave it this soon. I had just cut the grass for the first time in a month.

It turns out, everything was fine. The pear and apple had some fungus due to the single day rainfall record in may (100+mm), but even in the last 2 weeks ive left it alone in 26c - 31C heat, and little rain over that time, everything is great. All I could do was water the potted plants. ITs been a warm/mild year, with above average rainfall.

Fargesia Rufa (yes, those are new shoots (Second set this year)

Thanks Cameron, I hope to get some more crammed in the yard!

Jim - Im surprised at how fast the ginger has grown. The fig hasnt grown too much for me. I got it a few weeks ago, and it just got climatized. I have like.... 8 different ficus now... they all grow fast.....
