Lovely trees, but a bit tender if the young one I had in Blenheim was any indication. Great to see you back KM, the thought of you being without internet made me wince in empathy, lol. Becareful closing off with Spark, when I did it it took months because they only did what they thought I wanted, and kept charging for various things on top of the suddenly imposed notice periods. They are sods.
Went out to check on the world after a couple of quiet hermit days and found a couple of shrubs either down or dying, so staked up the hibiscus, and will start lopping off bits of the echium before removing it. Pity, my beans have colonised it... but removing it and them will allow me to set up the two Bunnings raised gardens instead of those untidy vege pots. My picky non gardening neighbour will be pleased. Start setting up anyway, nothing gets done in a hurry at the moment.
And my peaches are ripening! Had some with my brunch this morning, and boy they are good. A fair amount of bug in some of them, seeing I refuse to spray apart from copper for curly leaf, but there are so many this year I am happy to share. Even with Mrs Blackbird, who is getting very cheeky...
