RE: A [Crozzled] December Garden in Southern Australia
Never heard of strawflowers, but they're suuuper pretty! Is that purple yarrow?! Ours here is all white, that's cool to see. Glad the wicking beds are doing well, I imagine them just setting all fertile and damp on cracked soil like we so often get here.
The straw flowers are from @sagescrub!! Yes, it's very dark pink - I wanted the white one, because apparently it's got more medicinal benefits, but still, it's purty and will do!!!! And that's exactly how to imagine the beds - exactly.
I may be imagining things, but our swales helped us a lot this year. The year before, that entire area that we've made the food forest in was parched by August, completely dry. This year, August was peak growth. I may make more of them, except the grass would grow better and I'd have to mow more lol
If I was there, I'd come dig swales for you all over the place.
Oh come do swales!!!!! You guys can come and housesit for 6 months. Good local school and im sure u will pick up a welding job!
