| Normally it's July that I get fed up with how dry and crispy everything gets . I start hacking every thing down, hoping that they have enough time to come back before the frost kills them off again. |
 |
| This year I decided after fourteen years of adding , adding and adding plants to fill every available inch of the garden . It was time to smooth out a few areas. |
 |
| I started here around the Eucalyptus tree . I've left a few things in for now ! I'll have another cull after the summer. |
 |
| Found a few things hiding ! |
 |
| I was encouraged by that ! So I went on to remove most of my planting from under the Plum tree. It only ever looks nice in early spring. Then it's just dry and sad which is when I want to cut every thing back. I dug up most of the shade plants and potted them up . It was always to dry under the Plum and they get blasted with late sun . |
 |
| I've dumped lots of pea gravel down . |
 |
| Much happier and no watering ! |
