    I had to do something unusual in the garden today as I found a big grey mouse had died on the patio do I decided to bury it using my new 100 x 450mm garden auger as an experiment, and dug the hole 🕳 rather easily using a Ryobi 18v hammer drill to drive it and the chisel function to compact it.

    Not today, but on Friday I put "Success Ultra" on my cycads a bit late as I try to do it in September, so I'm a bit late this year like last and the cycads got smashed by the caterpillars. I think I'll be alright this year as I haven't seen any of the moths/ butterflies yet.

    Today I just raked up all the leaves, on the front lawn.

    'Success Ultra', ay. I'll have to try it. Our cycads have the dreaded caterpillar, incessantly.

    Yes, it's a Yates product available at the big green shed. I put some more on.my cycads yesterday as one has unfurled some new fronds and I noticed the little pests have arrived, in flying form, no caterpillars yet.

    We have a good crop of varying fruit, this year. Unfortunately, this forward scout has discovered the peaches.20251107_102627.jpg

    Yesterday I mowed my front lawn for the first time this Spring, I used my 18V cylinder mower which is more suitable for golf/bowling greens, but I thought it would be gentler on my grass seed shoots. While mowing I stood on and flattened some of the grass shoots, so then I had to fluff them up with the leaf blower.

    Last weekend with the help of SWMBO,we cut down 9 cocos palms,right down the back of our property.
    I am glad they are gone,one more to do this weekend.And a few more smaller ones need doing.
    They were all between 6 to 8M tall.

    All fronds now mulched,which is the easy part of the job.
    The main trunks are in 2M lenghts,piled up,they will rot away over the next year or so and no doubt the creepers will grow over them as well.

    Also mulched up the other smaller trees that were knocked down when the Palms came down,mainly Black Beans,Yellow Oleanders and a few other types.

    Also planted some Grevilleas,Bottle Brushes and Callistemons,and Westringias out the front where we had some very large Fiddlewoods,Iron Barks,and Brush Boxes removed.

    For those in Brisbane,Grovelly TAFE have a plant sale every Friday morning.
    Lots of Natives at pretty reasonable prices.
