This month has a feature on one of my favorite flowers...it's South Australia's floral emblem. The Sturt's Desert Pea...see this link from 2007 for some photos of them growing wild up north where our son and his family live!
There is a great article from Josh Byrne about an "Urban Orchard" in the center of Perth in Western Australia which is actually growing on top of a multistorey car park!
Great hints and things to do in the Garden Diary for March...with a reminder that Autumn is the best time to plant Native trees and shrubs...I think I have a few to plant out this year.Also the time of year to plant out spring flowering bulbs with hints on ground preparation!
This month Millie Ross is brewing up some Beer...using Ginger and beer made with Hops and she explains some other uses for Hops and includes some useful information on growing Hops.
And to cap it all off Maggie Beer tells us all about growing (in great detail) and cooking with Apples just in time for the new season apple crop!
