You awesome woman!!! Truely I love your “no shit Sherlock” advice and this post made me shed a tear of relief (really) at your unhindered iconoclastic bloody good commonsense approach to gardening. There is so much BS thrown at us from every angle and echelon in society that to have someone who talks plainly and sensibly is like, I don’t know, some sort of ambrosia!!!! Thank you it is much needed Casey 🙏☺️💕

Ohh you’ve made my morning!! Thanks for such lovely words, and I totally agree there is so much BS and of all places our gardens should be blissfully free of that! I’m so glad you feel the same and thank YOU for all the support and encouragement! ❤️

Very true. I’ve canned my gardening Australia subscription and we won’t renew organic gardening as it’s all boring, and nothing new at all. Same same every year. Coming from the UK to the NT, then Bunbury and now Albany it’s more of a suck it and see approach and look at how things grow in our area. The old advice, particularly with our climates now is no longer relevant.

Ohhh I totally agree! It’s such a shame when it starts to feel like the same content is being recycled year after year. And as you say especially in Perth we have to suck it and see because so much advice barely applies to us (and will apply even less as the climate grows more and more extreme). Do you watch gardeners world? Totally different climate but I’ve liked seeing how Monty Don is accepting the changing climate but not letting it destroy his passion for growing things. His head isn’t in the sand, but he’s also not doom and gloom - a pragmatist! I feel like we all need that approach going forward. Thanks for reading and thanks for the lovely comment! ❤️

I totally do what I want in my garden! 😂I like things a bit on the wilder rambling side and I don’t feel the need to prune things to within an inch of their lives! And my garden is happy and so am I.🙂

Hehe sounds like the perfect way to do it! I love the wild and rambling gardens the best - it always feels like they have secrets waiting to be discovered! 🥰
