It's lonely logging into this and other Aussie G.Web sites; guess everybody's out pulling spring-time weeds, like me: Hell, I got a lot more to do in the garden than pull weeds but I log in here once a day, about the time the sun is setting, just to see if anybody's wandered in and left a mark. "Hello", if you have.

Loved your post, it is hard trying to keep this going. Will post my new pictures of the clematis in my garden on the Gallery.

Hey triciac, thanks for happening by and saying hello: How'd you fair with all that rain and wind and cold? I thought it was bad here but new's broadcasts say down there copped it worse. Burrrr, even here this morning, near Tweed Heads, there was almost a frost on the ground.
Love to see your clematis, I've a few going myself and some gorgeous flowers now showing. Where will you post 'em, here or in the clematis page?

Hi guys,
lovely weather here today after some miserable cold and very windy conditions.
I have put some photos on my blog, but I'm not sure if I have the settings right for you to see them. Try this:

oh, yes, I should report, we've been busy continuing the long haul cleaning out my late mother-in-laws place. She was quite a keen pot gardener once but most of her stuff died way back. Still a few things were hanging on.. good ol' fishbone fern and there's a few bulbs which I believe are cliveas. And another bulbous sort of thing which I suspect is leopard spot plant.. or at least that's what my mother calls it (I think)

Out burying some scraps this morning there was a lovely big flower on my clematis, but the wind over the last days has knocked it about a lot, so no photo unfortunately. I am glad I got out before the bad weather to grab the few shots of some lovely blooms :o)

Hi Funnelweb (yuk hate that name, please tell us a Christian name we can call you) Have posted the clematis on the Oz Garden Gallery. It has been terrible weather some of the last few days but lovely today. Geelong is generally a degree or so warmer than Melbourne but we did cop a belting the other day still, mustn't complain we need the water and we are still on restrictions. My sister lives on the Tweed, nice place, nearly as nice as Geelong.

Hi Snodge, glad you are getting on with your cleaning out.

Ohhh, funnelweb's not a bad name! dangerous, black, threatening, magnificent! A name not to be taken too much for granted, to be reckoned with, you know. See my response Triciac (what's you real name?) in the other message above ( or below,but not by much).
