I would not be happy in that cold weather and you would probably melt in our heat and humidity! It is a wonderful place in our winter though so we are just starting the milder weather. We feel so blessed to live here as it is like being on vacation all the time.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-51955129866693851922011-04-11T23:45:18.503+10:002011-04-11T23:45:18.503+10:00I love visiting your gardens... it makes me feel l...I love visiting your gardens... it makes me feel like I'm on vacation to a wonderful tropical garden.

Thank you, yes that tree fern is lovely ...Rohrebot,<br />Thank you, yes that tree fern is lovely year round. <br />KJ,<br />thanks! I had missed it and e-mailed you straight away. I will send off your gemquash seeds this afternoon.<br />Solitude rising,<br />Being small makes it easier to look crammed with plants, too easy in fact!<br />Ali,<br />well, I dont know that I would allow just anyone in to hack away! I can get a bit protective of my special plants :)<br />Bernie,<br />yes I would love a bat plant - what a great idea - I will have to pull out that catalogue again.<br />Desiree,<br />oh no I dont have proprietory rights on that - I think I already adopted the term slash and drop from Ali! We had some English guests over on Saturday night for an aussie barbeque (not quite aussie we got the butcher to make us some boerewors) I was so thrilled when they said our garden was better than the resort where they were staying! <br />One,<br />I normally used to remove as many fallen leaves as I could, mulch them and add to the compost and then add green cuttings as well, then add the compost back into the garden, but am trying a new method of just letting it all decompost on the ground. It works in the forest...<br />Ami,<br />Oh I am sure a tree fern would look lovely in your garden, it adds a very tropical feel.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-61877021603676017152011-04-09T00:02:16.570+10:002011-04-09T00:02:16.570+10:00Thanks for the tour! what a wonderful tropical ar...Thanks for the tour! what a wonderful tropical area, I especially love that tree fern.

She says she has a 'thing' about them and cannot resist buying any plant with big, bold foliage. I, too, am a great believer in an annual 'slash and drop' (love your terminology...mind if I adopt it?)...and a good cutting back not only allows in more air movement and light, but I find plants rejuvenate and come back even more healthily and enthusiastically. You really have worked hard to create your own mini-paradise and you have such a splendid assortment of truly exquisite plants! I could wander around your garden for hours, just gazing and taking it all in :)Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-90867125492131620712011-04-08T17:47:45.349+10:002011-04-08T17:47:45.349+10:00Your garden is looking fantastic after all the rai...Your garden is looking fantastic after all the rain. Your Tree Fern and African Mask are just magnificent. The burgundy climber looks a bit like a Philodendron ... what a great colour.
