Bendigo's climate is pretty challenging - extremes of heat and wind in the summer and freezing (literally) nights all winter. I have to think so carefully about what to what to plant where, that's for sure.
Still, it is so pretty up here where we live - high on a hill overlooking Bendigo itself. At night it is a proverbial fairyland of lights. By day, we are right next to a great big Parks Victoria remnant Ironbark forest, so the birds abound, the winds are sweetly scented and we have space!!! What a difference this is from our double-storey townhouse in the heart of Brunswick!!!
I was longing to get back to the dirt and since we have been here we have planted out a decent sized orchard, a very productive vegie garden, one herb plot with a second potager already under construction. Maybe I can plant things once this hot spell is over.....
More to follow, with photos, once I work out how to attach them.
