The garden this year - year 3

 
 
This is the third year that we have been here and the first plants have taken and the garden now looks lived in. Happy to report that I've lost no more than 2 or 3 plants but sadly my hibiscus has not flowered since the first year. It was to be a little piece of my homeland but alas it was not to be, all I have is a very leafy bush. I have to admit though, this year my focus has been on the vegie patch rather than on the flowering plants but the plants seemed to be happy enough with the little attention given to them. Maybe next year it will be time to re-assess the colour scheme and try to get the plants to flower in sequence and not have periods of green in the season. But it is time to say goodbye to my garden as autumm is nigh and time to ready the plants for their resting period till spring in the new year.
