Moosey News : September 2009
Dear Subscriber,
The garden is springing along nicely, and every week something new pops up to be enjoyed. How lucky am I to be able to garden full-time. I'm working harder for longer hours than I've ever done before, though - I love it!

This month's features
1. Favourite Australians
Hee hee... This is a gardening newsletter, so I'm talking about shrubs...
2. The Most Beautiful Camellia in the World
A big call, granted, but this single pink Camellia is absolutely gorgeous. Wonder what it's called?
3. Garden Gnome Rescue
I've been on a mission all month to augment the number of garden gnomes at Mooseys. Would you like to meet the new chaps?
4. Spring Dance Rhododendron
This is a rhododendron which performs superbly. It never misses a year!
5. Birthday Garden Benches
The recent BIG Moosey birthday has been a grand excuse to spend money, money, money... Check out my new birthday benches and seats.

6. Plant of the Month : Weeping Silver Pear Tree
This is a beautiful blossom tree, and such a fashionable colour.
7. Animal of the Month : Fluff-Fluff Again!
It's not really favouritism. Fluff-Fluff is my constant gardening companion, always getting in the way - a jolly nuisance in the glass-house when I'm sowing seeds.
8. Garden Quote : Move the path, not the plants...
Of course, this only works if the paths aren't made of concrete, or pavers...
9. Garden Gallery : Spring Daffodils
There are some beautiful pictures of spring daffodils in the journal. I mean that the daffodils are beautiful!
10. Forum Focus : Friendship
The Moosey forum is a friendly place, even if lots of us (like the Head Gardener) get too busy and only manage to pop in once a week. We still care!
11. Gardening Advice : Write Down Plant Names!
Don't trust to your memory - if you take labels off plants (like I do) write the name down. Go on. Please...
12. Searching for Moosey : rustic garden bench
- Rustic Bench in the Pond Paddock
- This is THE most hotly searched phrase on the gardening internet. I've got some new pictures of some old rustic benches to show you, in the tour pages.
- Rustic Bench in the Dog-Path Garden
- This is one of the original garden benches - it's in need of urgent repairs.
13. Coming up this month : Plants and Gnomes
Hmm... Probably spending more on the online plant auctions, my latest in-house craze. And collecting more garden gnomes, my latest out-house craze. Oops - that doesn't quite look right! Happy gardening, whether you're inside or outside this month!
Cheers,
