So, while not a lot is happening in the garden, I still have a few plants that are flowering, and my first and only apple has finally made it through the heat and the frosts.
Most of my work in the garden is maintenance. The weather is too hot at this time of year to plant and we have a kangaroo who has been eating my purple plants. I have more waiting, but I am hoping the kangaroo will leave the area, first. In the meantime, I am clipping a few plants back and making shapes more pleasing to my eye. As soon as the weather cools down, I will begin to separate and replant the sedums in the Red Garden in the areas where I cut back the succulents that were trying to conquer me. I think I can give the area a more gentle appearance when they have been thinned. My hope is to incorporate a few salvia there too.

The Garden BlogBeaumont House is a South Australian National Trust home built in 1839. I used to walk past the place often and think to myself that someone ought to do something about the garden. Archives
