MY EARTH BANK!
MY EARTH BANK! - a labour of love-here are all the plants (Tubers) (pictured below) that I am planting & will plant -as soon as it stops raining! we have had over an inch so far over the last few days-and still very grey and more on the way! still gotta mulch & cover with hessian to stop any slip! looking pretty bare-have planted approx half! May 6th Okay update- now April 2022- the Bank is really coming along- I'll put up photos soon!

THRYPTOMENE (Pink Lace Flower)

-
SMOKEY WISTRINGIA
Love the grey foliage on this one have ordered 4- to spread out along the bank and give a nice variety-grey leaves are a great foil for the brighter-greener plants!
-
BEE HIVE- AND HONEY
Bees are such precious little creatures-and any garden without bees is not a garden at all. We have native bees here on our place- but also other bees I think!
-
MELALEUCA
Great pink- not sure if I actually have one of these- but it is on my wish list.
