Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / April 2005Summer in the city
It's not Friday yet, but you should see the back yard. We have a giant Lilli-pilli in the backyard, at least twice higher than our house. Normally if fluffs and has berries in January, but with the drought and April rains, it is now in full full full bloom. And all the rosellas are making one heck of a racket in the yard, feasting themselves to death. At night there is a horde of possums travelling up and down the tree. Almost makes the main road out the front of the yard disappear. On last Saturday DD and DH spent a lot of the day cleaning up the crimson carpet the yard had become. They'll be doing the same this weekend, I guess. Not good for washing. :)), and it is so warm, makes you wonder when autumn is going to get here.

Wow... living in the desert we have beautiful cactus but green things with leaves and branches and flowers are few and far between (although our cacuts do bloom beautiful and are in season now it hardly mets my needs! LOL!) I have a pot garden mostly... it's getting very hot though now that spring has sprung and gone pretty much. How wonderful Marc! Anni >I have a pot garden mostly.. Are you sure you want to admit to that online, Anni? -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

NH is about set to legallize growing hemp. i'll be in line waiting for seeds from the farm bureau when they do... i'm violently allergic to marijuana, but i'd love to be a hemp farmer :) lee <minimum 5 acres!> >>> I have a pot garden mostly.. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > violently allergic to marijuana, but i'd love to be a hemp > farmer :) LOL, my father is growing one hemp plant in a pot. Of course growing hemp has been legal here for ages (though not for commercial purposes IYKWIM ;-) ). It's fun to see the plant grow, I only saw them on TV before :-D.
