At this time of the year, while the weather is hot, about all we can do in the garden is maintenance. I have spent the past month or two keeping the plants in shape, and by that I mean trimming. The roses have to keep being dead-headed and the plants that cope well in the hot weather need to be cut back or they will take over. Now that I have a watering system in place, I can spend the whole time on the plants. I took photos to compare them with the photos of about four years ago. In the first you can see all the way down the hill. In the second the plants have grown large enough to hide the tiers. I don't think any of those original plants are still there except for the Bougainevillia. The next photos are taken from the other side of the 'cottage,' an area I never expected to develop, but it has evolved regardless and looking quite colourful.

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
