Karly – I was going through my posts and found your comment from May 4th – on my April 11th post; what a wonderful surprise! So I’ve come to visit and say ‘hi’.

The idea of doing cuttings is fantastic – last fall I meant to get cuttings from a variety of Coleus that grew through the summer. Unfortunately, after dragging my heels, a hard frost took them all out! (I won’t make that mistake this fall!) THANKS for stopping by my blog!! -Shyrlene

I love the colors of autumn, my favorite season! The Golden Raindrops Crabapple is lovely, is the fruit edible? Your cold-frame looks great, and its an excellent use of an unwanted sandpit, and your cuttings look like they’re off to a roaring start!

Thanks Bernie – I swear, every now and again when we make it to the Blue Mountains, I decide I’m giving it all up and moving up there with the incredible show they have. Your blog and the bushland make me feel the same way. Then you look around and realise that home isn’t half bad either

Thanks Heidi! Its not the prettiest, but it should work well and recycling definitely makes you feel better. I’d like to start taking photos of my chinese tallow every few days as it changes so much so quickly here, but I’m going overseas and will run out of time. Still, I might try and get my other half out there and sending me pictures

Hi Liedra – that’s a great find in a Beligian market! I don’t blame you for having to have it. My advice is to see if you can get a pot with a waterwell in the bottom of it – they’re much less tiresome to water and bottlebrushes like a bit of a drink from time to time (so it probably won’t like the small, dry pot for long). Then I say put it in as much sun as you can get! A mostly sunny balcony sounds like a great location – it should love it Put up some photos when you’ve got it all potted up!
