- jennyssMemberYes, me too @"Annie C" - just fantasy!
- Annie_CMemberDear @jennyss
Oh to be able to get on the ground and roll in the grass. Ah sadly those days are gone. Creaky joints, achy bones and if I got on the ground now, I definitely would not be able to get up. Milk crates are the closest I get to the ground, however it's amazing how much weeding is achieved sitting on a milk crate. Now, to devise a way of attaching wheels! - jennyssMemberDear @iserbrown,
What a welcome home present! And beautiful flowers and bushes, and grass so green and soft it needs to be rolled in. - jennyssMemberSucculents are good. How about geraniums and some small flowering bushes.
- SoldierCrabMember@cranky_granny
What about Succulents with flowers as they love the heat and sun, I know Penrith can be cold in winter but by being west facing it should be ok - Blossom1961MemberIf in doubt I always go to my local nursery who have an abundance of ideas. I am a native garden lover and am always able to get assistance. If you are not as fussy as me, your nursery will give you so many ideas you won't know what to choose.
- cranky_grannyMemberOkay all you green thumbs. I have a west facing front garden
not much is surviving running out of ideas as to what I can plant that has some colour. I did get a couple of gladioli to flower in pots I plonked in there. Only 3 out of 6 bulbs actually flowered. - iserbrownMemberHave been away and just returned to find this clump of Naked Ladies in flower
- AfraserMember@jennyss
Exactly! Although for me it was the late 60s and after classes at the National Art School and drinks/music at the Oxford. - jennyssMemberI think of mid-summer nights in Darlinghurst, walking home after midnight after listening to music at French's (this is back in the early 70's)
