Starting small

With most of the yard looking, as my better half described, like a "war zone", I decided we should plant the small triangle garden near the kitchen window. Just to have something looking good for the Christmas visitors.

There's one lonely Mt Tamboritha Grevillea in it at the moment.

Waiting to be planted are 2 Grevillea Fireworks, 2 Grevillea Winter Delights, and another Mt Tamboritha. I also grabbed a ground cover Grevillea that might squeeze in there.

It's good old red soil in there, but the drainage doesn't seem to be perfect. I think the reason the Banksia died was more from overwater than underwatering. Whoops.

I spread some gypsum, and am about to give it a bit of a feed with Blood and Bone.

I am pondering spreading some compost and old mower clippings through it as well.
