		<title>Look After Your Compost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently we&#8217;ve been getting some rain, and the compost bin was getting a little waterlogged, which is not a good thing. It&#8217;s fine to have damp compost, as it helps decomposition, but too wet is not good, as it just rots.    Besides this, the worms could drown, and they are a great help in getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>More New Plants!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess I&#8217;m a plant addict, because I don&#8217;t seem to be able to stop adding new plants to my garden.    At least there&#8217;s still a little space left for them. The latest two are cyclamen, purchased from the Sunday Market, for no reason at all, except that I liked them.    But that&#8217;s enough, isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yet Another Pittosporum!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems I just can&#8217;t help myself when we go to Sunday Market &#8211; if I see a plant which really appeals, then I&#8217;ve just got to have it.   It&#8217;s only later I have to work out just where the poor plant is going to find space in my garden! This week&#8217;s find was a varigated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Raspberry Crop Ever!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I love raspberries, last year, instead of just leaving the canes in the open, we built a covered area for them to keep out the birds. The birds usually got most of the crop when they were in the open. This year, it&#8217;s been very different.    There has been a great crop, considering there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something To Be Built In The Garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I no longer have any chickens, there is an unused chicken pen in the back of the garden.   The soil is extremely good in there, with all the fertiliser and straw rotted in to the ground, so something has to be done with it. As I only have a very small area for raspberries [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time For Some Garden Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Autumn here in Australia, and time to get the garden tidied up for Winter. This week, we&#8217;ve been doing some pruning, weeding, and general tidying up.  Of course, there&#8217;s plenty more to do &#8211; there always is in a garden! Today I planted some broad beans, always a productive vegetable, and very easy to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Real Rainy Day At Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, we finally had some real rain here in Melbourne.   Some parts of the city had tennis ball sized hailstones, and many cars were damaged beyond repair.   Luckily, my suburb just had very heavy rain, with thunder and lightening. Afterwards you could almost see the plants smiling happily as they soaked up the water.   [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zucchini At Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, I&#8217;ve managed to get at least one of my zucchini plants to fruit!   Still waiting on the pumpkin, and for some reason, they don&#8217;t do well in my garden.  Perhaps I don&#8217;t water enough; I don&#8217;t know, but I&#8217;ll keep trying, because I&#8217;m determined to succeed with them one day. Out of twelve zucchini [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bromeliad Moves Outside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bromeliad In Flower This summer, as every year, the bromeliad which spends winter in the bathroom was put outside for the warmer weather. It isn&#8217;t particularly fond of direct sunlight, however, so where it is placed is important.   Bromeliads also like to have their centres filled with water, but aren&#8217;t too happy to have wet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Help Adding Plants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I keep saying that I won&#8217;t add any more plants to my garden until Autumn, when they&#8217;ll at least have a chance of some rain, I still add them!   Guess I just love new plants. This time, I just added a few small annuals, snapdragons, pansies, and lobelia.   The poor lobelia certainly doesn&#8217;t seem [...]]]></description>
