| It is where I do a lot of my plant and soil preparation. It gets a bit of dappled sun, but is more protected than other parts of the garden. I have the orchids there in the summer, but move them into the sun during the winter to help them set flower spikes. The Mondo Grass is coming on a treat with a bit of extra watering. I need to trim the Chinese Star Jasmine again this weekend. It covers nearly every fence we have and is sending out its myriad of tendrils. But mostly I want to re-brick the "floor" of my work bench, make it look good, with a sense of permanence to it. |

The stags or elks look pretty good. I seen new Mondo grass look ok. I've never seen it look good a couple of years after planting. Please prove me wrong.
Mondo grass goes brown at the tips, and looks shocking. I had a dear sweet lady tell me once, in all seriousness, that the tips were brown because cats peed on them. Shade and water will do the trick I think. And not much traffic. I will report back.
That looks like a nice cool area to work, I just repot on an old cane chair under my Jacaranda tree, as it is cool and shady.Once I start repotting and dividing etc, I usually spend waaaay more time than I intended, so finding a shady spot was important.
The cane chair is the wrong height for working and is on it's last legs, so a sturdy,weather proof, waist high replacement is on the agenda, maybe an old wrought iron table will do.
Me so, too. Spend more time than intended. On composting, too. But I enjoy all aspects of gardening. Some of it is straight out manual labour. I like cane, but it does not last long in the elements. I love hessian too, but texture and smell. I more often stand, but when necessary I draw up a plastic milk crate. I have about 10 of them scattered around the garden.
