Everything in your garden even gardening jokes and happy stories......
Must admit I do use and like Searles products.
But you cannot get them in Bunnings.
The site gives a good calendar of the many areas within Australia for the various conditions of what to do this time of year.
Spent a few hours in the garden today repotting and changing hanging baskets, pansies hopefully will give a splash of colour outside the bedroom in mid winter, it faces due north so it gets plenty of sunshine.
I always like to keep some Lollipop Primulas in the garden if kept in a clump they have a lovely scent.
Enjoy your weekend Celia ... pink flowers in my garden just snapped. Love them, so delicate.
Holding their own despite a jasmine invasion from next door.
Very pretty RnR
What is the plant please? Mandevilla sander [Brazilian Jasmine?] with the pink flower.
Do you like Jasmine? 
We have a white Bougainvillea growing in the back garden and I have put a Pink Jasmine a meter away I am hoping they will grow into eachother, they both have the same temperament! LOL
Both are doing very well at the moment I have they enjoy each other as they are both pretty.
Ah of course I think you live in Queensland RnR?
Pink Jasmine seems to have its boundaries here I have three plants in different areas of the back garden.
I love the fragrance and have it outside our bedroom also three Gardenia Bushes.
I was out raking up the leaves this afternoon and to my surprise just popping through the soil was Ornithogalum [bulbs].
I took some photos of the last seasons flowering and one of the photos I use on the screen here! Love them, I have never cut them for a vase though, but may do this year as they are spreading across the garden bed, which I love the idea of.
I am told they last a long time in a vase?
I think it is called Star of Bethlehem?
Have a safe and restful weekend RnR and happy gardening!

Have been using for some years now a Liquid Potash when I put my seedlings into their new homes, I find this makes some lovely blooms, also if you need to cut back some old petunias in hanging baskets I give the old plants a drink of the same potash it sure brings the plants back to life and some great blooms!
I also give the tomato plants a feed of this mixture made by Manutec, but looking at the label it is made in China!
But apparently the company is Australian [SA] owned. Think we need to look at more labels more closely in future.
Well I have to admit I have had a fresh vase of roses each week! Saturday I trimmed them back again before the storm and collected some buds that have opened up in the vase, they look pretty and cheer the home up. I have not spoken to them though! The garden is soaking wet, the leaves are everywhere flying around from the deciduous trees next door and our own Chinese Tallow tree, but she only has small leaves, unlike the large guy next door the London Plain tree. But even he is looking a bit thin on top! The Pansies are bobbing up and down in the wind the poor little things but they always have a smile on their dial! Happy little souls they are, cannot say that about my Lollipop Primulas I planted two weeks ago, the snails feasted on them. So I scattered some ground coffee around the garden, of course the snails hate coffee and went to the high ground where I used my size 10 boot! [smile] The question now is do I risk planting more Lollipop Primula out when the skies are blue and the sun comes out again?
