Yes, I think so. Summer in Adelaide is not a great time to get plants started. While the old tables are unsightly, they're excellent chicken shelters. It stays surprisingly cool under there. So there's no rush.
At present the lilac Dad planted is struggling with insufficient sun. We want to keep the same plant because it was Dad's, but in a better position. The trouble is, it's so spindly, I doubt it would survive transplanting but perhaps it can give us cuttings. I've been reading up on it. We'll take a dozen or so and hopefully one or two will take. We already have the hormones, we just need to set up an environment for them in the back room. It'll be a long term project.
Striking cuttings from the succulent will be easy. It needs almost no help at all! Poke it in the ground and give it water. It will thrive.
The young jacaranda and peacherine continue to do well. So the hens are not at a loss for green shade all day long.
And they have their favourite shrubs to hide under when they're allowed out of the funrun.
Today Mary is out by herself, she won't stray too far from her friends and she'll have some respite from Peggy's pecking.
