VICTIMS OF SUMMER

I didn't want to post these photos.  I can't quite believe what happened this year to our trees that were over 3 years old, I mean I watered them a little bit but other years I watered the same amount and yet they turned their toes up very quickly and I'm now left with a bare yard.

I lost 6 out of our 8 Pittosporums from our driveway.

 

 

Our Snow In Summer broke off in a particularly strong hot wind.

 

This Lillypilly is thinking very hard about giving up the ghost.

My male Kiwi is as dead as a doornail and my Golden Delicious/Granny Smith aborted most of it's fruit!

It's not a happy time in our yard I can tell you.  I took these photos last week and am slowly digging out the dead and re-conditioning the soil.  I don't even want to think about re-planting until we've have lots of decent rain.
