Marg purchased a number of my beds  and canopies. One of the canopies got damaged during the cyclone so I had to send her parts for repair. Thank you Alan, that is lovely of you. I will transfer the money today. Have a great day, Marg On 17 Mar 2025, at 09:17, Alan Singleton <alan@alansingo.com> wrote: Morning Marg It will leave today or tomorrow via Aramex. Since you are such a good customer I just charged you for the freight:  

We have had at least 250mm of rain in three days. Unlike a conventional garden, my gardens are fine. They collect the rain in the reservoir until it fills, after that the excess simply drains away. Another month without further rain before I will have to check the water level. Gotta love a Watersaver Garden.

Schedules a bit tight but BOM thinks it's going to be a warm autumn. Out of convenience I purchased seedlings at that big store I can't stand. They squeeze out competition and then sell mediocre product. Seedlings not at all established. The beauty with my gardens: water for a couple of days then they look after themselves, just check the water level in the reservoir once every three or four weeks. Zucchini Beans, the spring onions and coriander bought from somewhere else. Cheery tomatoes a better bet re fruit fly. Some tiny bok chop seedlings.  

A great part of gardening is being able to watch the food you love growing in your own garden. Look at this beautiful pesto, sorry should have said basil. This is a great variety.

There are 24 colours in colorbond so occasional I get stuck with one size/colour that just will not sell. By the way the plants don't care what the garden's colour is. So during a stock take I decided to move on the following. Large Slim (2400 x 600mm) one silver and one gully (link to colour chart on this page) The catch at half price? You pay actual freight, not the subsidised rate I normally apply. No problem: email, text, phone your full address and I will give you a firm quote and we can get the deal done. Price...
