Gone potty? Plants gardens and lawns .

[Harpy]

Love love all those flowers. More yellow flowers
No flowers here at the moment. Will call in Bunnings on way home (from my cuppa with friends). and Will get some much needed potty mix. To potter with this arvo. And put a few bags of fruit tree potty mix in the hole for apple tree.
My daughter is bringing a full grown apple tree to my house tomorrow and will plant it for me.

Oh lovely, apples,

 

[Auriel]

It'll be a nice thing to focus on (like a bit of a distraction, maybe/hopefully, from the past week)

More yellow flowers

Glad to help... So this is a yellow theme. 6-10 are outside in front of the house opposite my window, not in our own garden, altho they are mahonia 6-8 and forsythia 9-10 like we have, but I've yet to get to get them that far - next year praps.

full grown apple tre

I can't eat sweet cherries, so that giant tree is useless as food to me. But the cornel cherry - which I didn't even realize were edible is something I'm going for this year. And the elderberries - altho I don't like the taste - contain flavonoids, natural antihistamines, so that'd also be something to try. Last year we also planted blueberries (love 'em to bits, and healthy), thornless blackberries (I'd hope without those pip things that always get stuck in my teeth!) and raspberries (hopefully without that many worms).
But if I ever get to plant a fruit tree, should be a (sweet) apple, cos I eat lots every day.

Yellow continued (older ones first)...
#1-2 A bee-like creature (out too early on Apr 2nd, too slow, didn't make it).
#3 daisy. #4-5 Cornel cherry in March.
#6 March daffodils, I'm sure I've got a better one of that somewhere
#8 not sure if that's the kind of yellow you (we/I) like, but this cachepot at the entry to the garden under the firethorn has been a very sustainable home to cornel cherry and other cuttings over many weeks....

 

[Harpy]

Wow, wow, wow. They are all beautiful. I am definitely going to try work on my pots and gardens over the next few months, then bring on spring. Don’t think I will have the show your gardens having. Well done.

 

[Harpy]

Do you have your blueberries in pots or in the ground? Mine are in pots but thinking I may plant them out.
I love apples too, I love stewed apples on icecream. Yeh being in my pot area will keep me distracted for a bit.

Hi everyone, hope you all are feeling ok.
H took me to a place called Diamond beach. We got there early ( 2 hour drive) so had a nice walk on beach and a dirt track, well I am a bare foot lover and enjoyed the walk.
I am searching for a permanent caravan in the caravan park for holidays or when feel low I can just choof off. And my kids and families can go anytime they want to.
Found two I am yet to decide on. Hopefully get to go up Friday to look inside properly .
We called in KfC for chippies. Sitting in car I dropped my ph as I bent down to pick it up there was blood everywhere. The bottom of my jeans were soaked.
As I pulled my jeans leg up there was a HUGE blood sucking leach . It had let go but the blood was still seeping out his hole. Yukky bloody things.
Well while I bush walked and must have found that blood sucking hitch hiker I came across these two fungi .

Can really tell in the pics but they were like Snow White and really stood out.

 

[JayCS]

Yukky bloody things.

Maybe it thought this kind of therapy may be something for you to try
Now that blood purification is being tried out here more and more often (even in our town) to try to treat post Covid, maybe leeches are gonna be the new craze....

 

[Auriel]

Oh i didn't know flowers could grow in trees harpy? Also the leach thing , we don't. have them where I live, (at least I don't think we do? Id never go to the place if we did!!! ) well I've learned something new, I thought they lived in water or swamps!!!, That's me educated , nice caravan break, (it'll be good for you, it's good to get away from things, sometimes)

 

[Auriel]

Harpy jaycs is confirming my suspicions, Hes aligning with the bloodsuckers!, hes one of them!!!

 

[JayCS]

flowers could grow in trees harpy? Also the leach thing , we don't. have them where I live, (at least I don't think we do? Id never go to the place if we did!!!

fungi = mushrooms, not flowers! Doubt we have leeches here much, except when you go to a practitioner that uses them!

blood purification is being tried out here more and more

That however is not an alternative health practitioner using leeches, it's mainstream medicine, a local hospital, using H.E.L.P.-apheresis for Long Covid and Post Covid, exactly what people with very high lipids get - works similar to kidney dialysis.

 

[Auriel]

Ah I wondered if they were mushrooms when i first looked (cos flowers can't grow out of trees can they)

 

[Auriel]

They used leeches and maggots in the older days (they used them on my grandad after a mining explosion)

 

[Auriel]

Also these came up in my youtube feed so I thought I'd put them
up to show you (cos they very cute) from temu
