This week in the garden...

The heat continues to stress the garden (and me), but there has been some action.

• The lawns have been mowed.
• The vegie patch has been weeded.
• The forest pansy has dropped about 70% of its leaves due to stress.
• The re potted orchids are putting out new growth.
• The second crop of beans are coming through.
• The failed corn has been ripped out of the vegie patch.
• The self sewn pansies have been potted up.
• The new garden path has been measured out ready for the gravel to be added.
• The snapdragons suffering from rust have been sprayed with pest oil and trimmed back.
• The watermelon flowers are forming.
• The lime is in flower.
• The blood orange fruit are plumping up.
• The passion fruit vines are creeping along the wire fence.
