Thriving under Neglect

The two hot weeks back in febuary really fried the fern (the looked dead) and savaged pretty much everything in my Gwondanaland garden. I did refurbish the irrigation sprays, now that the water restrictions have been eased BUT I haven't used them regulalry instead the garden has had to struggle on under on its own. Well the spring rain bought on some nice new growth on the tree ferns and the gingko. Now everything is looking happy and healthy

sorry for the hiatus

I've been away and back and away a lot, so my humble cretaceous garden has had to fend for itself. It has done so admirably, compared with other more conventional plantings elsewhere in my garden. So I think there may be a myth, ormoral here, perhaps cretaceous plants thrive best by neglect! (and tropical weather, even without the rain).
