Much has happened since I started the draft of this post 3 years ago. For starters, two Melbourne Garden Shows have taken place and I think I will simply dedicate this post to those two events. For some reason, and I hope it is good, I seem to have more subscribers on this garden blog than on my other more active blogs. Why? I have no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently back in Darwin, the Davis St Community Garden has been totally rebuilt with new and larger food-growing bins that are better for water retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post is on my main site which you may notice is at the top of this website’s URL. It is funny that the “top” is referred to as the “root” of the directory or URL when the root is normally at the bottom. As with most things in life, it depends on how you look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhow, this link covering recent winter and autumn walks this year along with two albums of the last flower and garden show are shared for your viewing here… as with this site, no ads or anything tricky, just sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
