My young Aloe thraskii, also called coast Aloe or dune Aloe. It only gets morning sun, though it seems like it’s coloration indicates it gets too much sun. Right? Or is this normal for thraskii?

So happy @circadianrhythm_jim & I decided to go succulent crazy in our backyard. What a transformation we’ve achieved! That’s Jim and his 91 year old mom & last pic is of sweet Shirley.

The school was established on a property that previously served as a primary school. It is a small school which has performed very credibly despite its lack of physical and teaching resources. The school had its first matric year in 2015. Since then the school has produced 100% pass rates together with exceptional exemption rates of some 80%. As a result, the school is in high demand and enrolment numbers are increasing. The school is simply not resourced enough to accommodate the constantly increasing learner numbers.
•
During early 2018, Vula Amehlo was able to motivate to and persuade the MIC board that the most effective investment and intervention for this school would to be assist it to sufficiently complete the construction of their school hall to make it a usable space. The MIC has agreed to set aside some R1,5 million over two financial periods to make the incomplete building habitable and usable, and the school could free up two/three classrooms for teaching purposes. Importantly, the hall would then also be usable to host events to continue to raise funds to complete the building to the required specification. However, after some detail investigation by engineers we have elected to condemn and demolish the incomplete structure and build an entirely new structure.
•
The proposal is to build a new school hall of some 480m2 using a standard steel portal frame. In the ordinary course, a development of this size, together with ancillary works, could cost in the order of some R 4 800 000 (excl VAT). It is very remote that sufficient funds can be raised to complete a development at this level. Instead, a strategy has been devised to develop and build a usable structure at the lowest possible cost. The school can therefore enjoy usable benefits of such a structure, which may be improved incrementally over time as and when additional funds are raised or become available. This ‘starter pack’ development will cost in the order of R3,0 million, but we have elected to proceed on the strength of MIC’s commitment.

Here we are in the NT wet season and Darwin is experiencing one of the driest ‘wets’ to date, with only 739mm of rain, compared to an end of February wet season average of 1270mm.
There have been three or four days with sporadic showers and a few epic lightning storms during the night, with some of the heaviest rain and loudest thunder I’ve ever heard but that’s it ... no real monsoon action just yet.

So let me say again ... it’s hot! Hot like I can’t describe and it’s no real surprise to me that Territorians have been recorded as having guzzled the most water out of anywhere in Australia but I’ve heard that this time around, the dam is looking pretty low.
I hear it’s been a little warm down south too and we all know that parts of Australia have endured horrific droughts over the past year. So I thought I’d share with you some water saving tips which may have slipped your minds ... 🚿 a water catching bucket under the shower 😁 turn off the tap whilst brushing your teeth
🚽 if it’s yellow, let it mellow
💧 fix your leaks
🥚 reuse your boiled egg and pasta water
🧼 cut your showers short
🧺 don’t run the dishwasher or washing machine until they’re full
🌱 water outdoor plants in the early morning (cooler morning temps mean less evaporation)
🔌 use less electricity (power plants use thousands of gallons of water to cool) 🤯

Shasta Daisy

One of those rare examples when a plant is bred from a wildflower and the out come for insects is improved. Shasta Daisy is in fact a combination of 4 wild species of ox eye daisy. Leucanthemum vulgare Ox Eye Daisy introduced to New England by the Pilgrims, Leucanthemum maximum English field daisy, Leucanthemum lacustre Portuguese field daisy and finally
Nipponanthemum nipponicum Japanese field daisy. Luther Burbank was enchanted with the ox eye daisies that grew beneath his Elm trees and wanted to breed a garden flower based on the graceful characteristics of this wildflower. What this breeder achieved was a plant with larger pure white flowers, early and persistent flowering, water wise, strong stems, graceful and incredibly hardy. This quadruple hybrid took Burbank 17 years to achieve. It is perennial and can be multiplied easily and divided again and again and can be used to form the basis of a meadow which other more fleeting wildflower annuals can be woven through. I have a circle of these around my birdbath. Bees love it. It has handled the drought better than any other garden plant.
