Pics of the wet garden

This is a collection of what's flowering now, Aye's olive tree has fruit, the plums are ripe but sadly have the 'worm', the apples are dropping to the ground, the hydrangeas have had a hard time in he rain, the rosemary died, the baby persimmon is a bit green (nutrients not available in the soil?)and the older persimmon gave no fruit at all after a bumper year last year (thankfully I still have some jam left, clever me!). The trees around the house have had a bumper year, the white cedar at the back door is huge this year. The pears are full of fruit too, only good for cooking though.

Raspberries and baby!

Welcome!

Welcome to One Willowgreen. We live on the South Coast of NSW, just inland from the sensational Jervis Bay. It's our playground, especially when the tourists have left for the year!
I don't know if my blog  title will stick, although it does mean a lot to me, it's where we've lived for 23+ years, raising a family, homebirthing 2 of them right here in the original fibro termite-ridden house, building a new strawbale house,celebrating life and living quietly. It's my little haven and headache. I want it to be so much more than that and by headache I don't mean I don't love living here, I always think the benefits outway the negatives  but we have had our challenges, what with new neighbours rocking our little boat, and a little termite problem, and the usual not enough time, and at times energy, to get it looking how I need it.

Well, this is why the blog commenced, to get things moving, and what better way than to track progress here!
I wandered around in the rain soaked garden and found some of my lovely rhubarb and picked some to make my virus go away! I might stew them lightly and add with apple and chuck them in the oven with my crumble topping. Yum. Some dollop cream and there's lunch!
I took a picture of my one(out of 6) surviving raspberry plant ( they were an experiment) and you never know, I might get it to flower? Either way I will get cuttings from it and will be happy with that.

My first task is to try and upload photos here. We'll see how it goes.
