Thought I would start a blog about my garden.It is fairly small but crammed full of plants.I will start posting pictures immediately.
Here is a Eucalyptus (leucoxylon)tree i grew from seed a few years ago.It grew and flowered for several years thanks to the mild winters.Until a couple years ago when it was cut down by the cold winter.Each winter since it has been cut down by the frost but regrows again from it's ligno tuber.I am waiting now for some milder winters to restore it back to it's former glory.
