Popeye, chipping the light---- fantastic !

Popeye chipping up some branches of Bracelet Honey Myrtle
it makes excellent mulch and is also good fire wood. After 2 days work, cutting
out and cutting up before it can be chipped, we have stopped for a short rest. There is,
after all only 6 more complete trees to go ! Oooooo my back !!














Is there any one out there in Blog land that can tell me what the names of these plants is.
First a twiggy deciduous shrub, with small rosettes of flowers.













Second is a native (I think) shrub with thousands of tiny white daisies

New in the garden

Red wings azalea, saw this at the local garden nursery and just HAD to buy it.















Stellata Magnolia, a gift from my dearest friend. (the green tall thing behind the azalea) hard to see because I had to take the picture late in the afternoon.


















Devon skies, a small ground cover type of plant similar to an iris (in growth)
So pretty at this time of the year.

everything is beautiful

Blue Pacific, (Ceanothus) in full bloom at the moment. What a pity it only lasts for a couple of weeks.




















Freezias, top heavy but still lovely.

Crab apple blossom

The Crab apple trees are laden with blossom once again, gorgeous!

Peas, tomato and rhubarb

The peas are flowering at last. I have experimented with Pete Cundall's wood charcoal soil impover, and it seems that the peas I used it on have more flowers than those where I didn't.



























The tomato plants are not doing as well as the Veggie Gnomes. I'll have to try something different















My rhubarb seems as if its about to flower, any suggestions ? Maybe I should cut it off ? This plant, I thought was dead, then suddenly it started to shoot new growth, so perhaps it is flowering because it too, thought it was about to die. Some sort of survival technique ?
