Presently because of the hard work and planning I put in over the years I’m now looking out a garden where I don’t have to slave. If I want to greet the dawn and look for weeds, they’re there, if I want my eye to skim across them to the mega liquid amber that is changing colour and call them green manure I can do that too. The thing about gardening is you can let yourself have a fallow time…my previously lush fantastic herbs of spring and summer looked like so much dead stuff(mulch) and I’m happy to not tip against the season and try to force them to thrive with dry cold winds. You can also spend a lot of time musing with a glass of wine planning what you can do next. Also it has the flexibility that if something looks like a shit of a job you can employ someone to give you hand and stimulate the local economy. Am presently thinking it would be a bit delightful to go out into the winter sunshine and have a cuppa and make of list of things to do.

A Leo, Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aquarius.

Cancer Sun, Scorp Rising, Aries Moon. Jupiter in Taurus but mostly water in my chart, including Grand Watery Trine.

I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s gardening posts, thank you. I adore gardening. Have been doing it since I could stand up. It def keeps me sane and sorts me out when I’m losing the plot. I feel very at peace with my hands in the earth, digging and growing things. I am not a fussy, slow type of gardener – I get stuck into it – but I know what I am doing. I make (different) gardens everywhere I go and have some cuttings that have been with me for many years.

I feel very lucky to have worked with plants all my professional career including stints as a Landscape Architect, Plant Pathologist and now an Agronomist. I draw a lot of inspiration from the plants (and birds) in my bush garden every day.

reformed black thumbs. use to kill everything & now garden is mon solace. Fuq knows what I’m doing but it works out & is art in motion. dont know one plant from the next, nor what they need – BUT – if only gardening hours were up there with house cleaning skills – you could eat off the kitchen floor!! Lib sun / fish riser / bull moon.

(a) is EXACTLY Taurean sis. will suss her riser / moon tomoz. In fomer incarnation she toured the world as professional Muso. Yothu Yindi came & found me at a gig & said “do YOU (I) know what you sister is to us”? Luka Bloom ran her a bath & sang her love songs, & aside from sitting adjacent to Kylie Monogue in cafe once thumbing thru Rolling Stone to find MY SISTER in Rolling Stone (!!) – via her I met Jimmy Page & Robert Plant – her band supported their east coast route of OZ. ANYWAYS she has gold in her touch. Her present incarnation is designing art gardens. At her kids school (job is her own concept – an edible garden where the kids even have a meditive space – 3 month project) – thru community garden arts prjects (her 6 year old won the kids prize & the municipality BOUGHT sister’s art work. plus rights to licence the garden art)

(a) also belongs to another bestie – Fish sun. Again will suss deets tomoz.

Love the notion of charts for gardens. do charts apply for pets?

I’ve also got Jupiter in Taurus in 4th house.
