EDIBLES and ORNAMENTALS in Brisbane GARDENS

Morning steemers,
Yesterday the work ute broke, I suspect the transmission is gone and will be getting towed to a workshop today. Fingers crossed its worth fixing so I'm not off the road for too long. Today I have decided to share a mixture of Edible and Ornamental landscapes from gardens I care for...........Hope you enjoy!

This Bromeliad in a large expensive pot makes a great statement at the entry of this property. It requires very little maintenance and a small amount of filtered sunlight. This particular property is a constant working progress as their dog keeps ripping up the irrigation :-)

From the same property as the above image these Rosa floribunda 'iceberg' (Iceberg Roses) completely fill the fence line. The Bromeliad may be low maintenance but R. floribunda is rather high maintenance, having said that they are probably the easiest Rose to grow for our climate in Brisbane.

I have shared pictures of this Xanthorrhoea sp. (Grass Tree) before but never with its flower spike present, I will return to this property tomorrow and hopefully it is covered in Native Bees.......stay tuned :-)

Finally I will leave you with a "Vegetable Patch" that is a working progress but starting to come along nicely:

Solanum melongena (Egg Plant) starting to provide some food.

Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil) is a must have for any vege patch in my over-opinionated opinion. Not only is it a great addition to most meals it is also a great companion plant for plants in the Solanaceae (Nightshade) family such as: Tomato, Eggplant etc etc.

Thanks again to anyone who read this and feel free to leave suggestions for content in the comments!
Happy gardening,
Sam.
