Planting a few Palms dypsis sp, satakentia liukiuensis, heterospathe barfordi

Putting a few more in the ground to get the garden going. Give it a few more years and a bit of water and things will be looking good. Also planted a maprang an edible grit in the mango family. dypsis spsatakentia liukiuensis hetrospathe barfordi maprang

No rust on your shovel , just keep digging holes and planting! When the blade gets rust , time for more work! Harry

I had my first shovel I purchased 35 years ago go into retirement a few back it was worn completely down with only about 3 inches of metal left and a scallop shape. I loved that shovel and miss it dearly. Now I have my father’s shovel I inherited and it’s treasured even more. It’s funny how a gardener feels about his shovel something special it’s your best friend In the garden!

Yep , my shovel and hand spade get regular use even on my little slice of earth here . Like you , I have rocks in my soil that need to be coaxed out of the way so I can put a new baby in the ground . When I hear that horrible sound of the shovel hitting the rock , my hand spade takes over to carve the soil around the rock. I see all the plants you put in the ground on a regular basis , no surprise the trusty shovel needed to retire . Better than letting it rust into oblivion. Maybe hang it in one of your greenhouses as a momento . Harry

That shovel I had did some work alright, planting thousands of plants. Even the trusty pair of secauters are a wanted item being ever faithful and much loved. . I have now moved up to the good old digging bar now for those tough spots to break through the rocks. If there’s a gap in my garden I know it’s there for a reason rocks and lots of them.
