A super photo Graham - and the Callistemon is flowering nicely too!
My one regret: no family!

Well, I guess we'll have to do.
Hmmm... I guess that makes me the black sheep of the family.

Graham
great looking family. Is the garden in the background yours- if so someone spends some time in it I would say, it looks great.
Cheers
Rob

Thanks Ken, yes it's our garden, Leslie is the one who loves gardening, I do the construction-type things, that's all.
Our property is 25 acres, it takes a lot of work!
Come up and I'll show you around

That's true, Graham, although I have lost my gardening heart to some extent since moving here 13 years ago. The soil is so very light and sandy that my choice of plants is terribly restricted. Fortunately, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camelias and Heathers do well, but I cannot grow any of the usual herbacious things - except in pots and tubs, which are hard work in summer!
I'm currently fighting nature in trying to keep the tons (well, hundredweights) of leaves off my lawns! Last year I spent almost £6,000 on having the latter returfed so I cannot afford to have areas being suffocated by dead leaves! I am surrounded by woodland and have a 260 years old Beech tree in the garden, so leaves there are - aplenty!

Not a problem we have here much Hamish, Australian native trees keep their leaves all year round
but then you don't have to battle with possums destroying the fruit trees, parrots taking all the fruit, tiger snakes in the strawberry patch, wallabies making holes in fences, cranes and kookaburras (related to kingfishers) eating the fish in the pond and then....the rabbits, dozens and dozens of them!
