Whip Out A Weed/Nourish A Native  Tomorrow:  some watering at  Manifest Destiny a broken branch across the old track into  Manifest Destiny  needs a sawyer's attention Lilies, Fleabane , Purpletop et al are emerging both sides of the Stony Rd still more  Japanese Honeysuckle , Fleabane , Cassia by  Woodlands Ck Japanese Honeysuckle    We stay out of WARC Zone 2025 The Day After There's still some weed work at Woodlands Ck to be done & I expect we could plant up to half the Lomandra there. Its likely to be warm & humid so the other planting site/s will be shaded, maybe behind the Blady Grass & some in  Manifest Destiny . Aquarians are called to carry some water for these 2 sites....its your month after all. 2024 Giant Black Rabbit Dig out & bag Montbretia which is flowering in multiple locations.  Up around the Woodlands Ck bend a native vine is overgrowing many of our plantings so an intervention is needed there ...

2026 Back to the creek  It is back to Hewitts where the following delights await: Walk the WARC.....an old style Emu Parade through the WARC forest area removing Moth Vine, Morning Glory ,  Asparagus ,  Nightshade , Social Fund items More thinning of weeds & Persicaria towards the creek edge at Manifest Destiny & Madeira removal under the Coral Tree . Creation of "Mandy's Kinder".......4 infant Moreton Bay Figs around the edges of that Coral Tree. Mandy has raised these beauties from fruit falling at her place. Check on our struggling Banksias behind the  Blady Grass  & free up as required, then weed west to the Title boundary wall. Anyone obsessed with  Japanese Honeysuckle  can keep up the fight along  Woodlands Ck . Weather is expected to be cool with light showers possible. Recent rain may have reawakened some of our bugs & leeches & you-know-who might be warming up if some warm pools of sunshine are on offer, so ...

Quiet Little Drink  If you arrive early and bring a spade we can dig out that bike. Down along  Woodlands Creek is a weed forest (inc.  Montbretia and Bidens Pelosa ) so that's where tomorrow's first worksite will be except for those we delegate on a mission into WARC territory to deal with other miscreants on the way. There are also some small jobs in the  Blady Grass  areas inc.  Purpletop , Fleabane  and the occasional  Lily .  Some struggling plantings needing TLC +water At  Manifest Destiny  there needs to be some selective track clearing to access the Madeira Vine  around and under the cardboard. Stone  Road/Boge Massacre sites have scattered  Purpletop .   2025 Flanagans Creek   We have been officially authorised to begin work at Flanagans Creek & we are part of the New Imperialist Zeitgeist imperilling the Old World Order, and we start tomorrow. I will have the Official Bushcare Sign...

High tide  A 2m high tide around 10.30 am tomorrow but little chance of erosive power given the gentle surf at the moment. Fine & mild forecast so ideal conditions for; attack on The Ditch weeds while/if it remains dry Fleabane , Nightshades & Asparagus across Lisa's Site &  Manifest Destiny . thin out  Persicaria & rescue  Manifest Destiny  plantings. And  Madeira , of course. Sawyers will have some broken branch & dead tree work if they are available. 2025 Weed On At Woodlands Ck, and the Purple Top through to the Blady Grass area could reward our florists, but Manifest Destiny & the shady weeds there will be the main game. Madeira will be top priority but Cape Ivy, Honeysuckle , Crofton & Cassia also need to be driven back. 2024 & 2023 New Years Day 2022 Water needed Please bring some water to apply to our December plantings. Reports are that the odd weed has popped up over the last fortnight.
