Christmas was brilliant!!

A $15 bingo set kept everyone entertained all afternoon... from the littlies 5years thru to the teens and of course the oldies...

There was far too much food and plenty of drink, everyone had a wonderful day..

New Years Eve was spent at the Jupiters Casino where my wonderful neice booked us all rooms for the night...

The garden has come to a complete halt over the silly season it rained it poured and rained some more... after a week of dry i mowed for 5 days, everything looked neat and tidy with lots of mulch in the compost bins.....

Produce wise i am picking cucumbers, mulberries, loofahs, eggplants, capsicums and pumpkins...

Before christmas i decided to plant up under the raintrees to create a rainforest.. i plan on putting a wood oven down there to cook pizzas and bread..

my personal choice of plants after the obvious tree ferns were heliconias and gingers..

i have left a centre garden for cyclads and bamboo but the heliconias are my personal favorite so i am madly buying, begging and swapping to get my hands on as many varieties as possible...

my absolute favorite at the moment is the blue ginger closely followed by a white globe..

will post photos as they flower..
