In the last week I have spent 15 hours digging out grass. When I am not digging, I sleep. Thankfully the results are not dull even if I am.

Take care, everyone, and be generous with your kindness.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

Sounds to me like you are being kind to the earth and yourself. Not dull. Is that morning glory in the photo?

It is a Convolvulus that is native to Australia. I think Morning Glory is also a convolvulus? Unfortunately it is an environmental weed here. Our Landcare group has been learning heaps, Heather. Turns out a lot of us have been growing environmental weeds in our own gardens.
Hope you had a nice Christmas Day?

Some consider it a weed here. I’ve been guilty of growing invasive plants, such as creeping bell flower. I didn’t even plant it. I don’t know where it came from but the last two years it has started taking over my front flower beds.
Christmas was a quiet day. I hope you had a lovely time with family.

It sounds like you have a big job ahead of you getting that bellflower out. Sigh.
A quiet day sounds perfect.

Thank you, Lois.
I think I might be less tired if we didn’t have to use medieval methods for our Landcare activities. We can’t use power tools, ie. no lawnmowers, so we have to cut every blade of weedy grass manually. Ridiculous. It cuts into my blogging time!

We don’t get that one, Convolvulus erubescens, this far south. The one we get here is Convolvulus angustissimus. Very similar though. I really love how it grows where nothing else will grow. Such a little trooper and so pretty.

I didn’t know that. Mine pop up everywhere no matter the soil too

I’ve checked the distribution map. It could be the same species as in your area. My apologies, Brian.

It is widespread. The flower looks a bit different though 🤔

Gosh, you’ve been having a really wet year, Anne. I hope there hasn’t been anymore flooding.

No flooding. In the 23 years that we’ve lived in the area, the river flooded over its banks just once and flooded Discovery Park. No houses or businesses were in danger.
