Soggy and bedraggled

Soggy and bedraggled is the best way to describe my garden and its surrounds here in South West Victoria.

The rain is back again after a few gorgeous days, so we’re back to hearing stories of flooding, and dangerous waters.

I’m managing to keep on top of the pasture grasses that make their way into my garden beds, but little more. The Camellia hedge is nearly ready to cut as the flowers are finishing and the box hedge is ready for pruning as it hasn’t been touched for a year or more. I will have to wait for the rain to stop.

The Snowball tree (Viburnum opulus sterile) has burst into flower too, it’s one of my most favourite shrubs. The flowers don’t seem to be lasting very long though, all this rain is taking its toll.

Please, everyone be very careful of water across the road. Don’t drive through unless you can see the road is safe, even then, think twice. Take care out there!

Til next time!
