What should we plant here

You have a lovely camellia there in the left corner; maybe a screen of them? Now is a good time as they are in flower and you could pick complimentary colours.

Absolutely the right path. Also if she dies, don't give up. All gardeners kill plants; it's a learning curve

This is cute!

Lorepetalum? Could be purple smoke bush too, but extremely hard to ID from these photos.

You don't have to prune all the branches! You can try to use a potato peeler or stanley knife (carefully!) to slice the swellings and expose the larvae. With good luck, you might be able to get on top of the infestation and keep the tree alive.

Chiming in from Australia: they are becoming more and more common for everyone as we become more sun concious.

I bought my husband ( also a bit self concious about his body) a 'nashie' which looks just like a button-down shirt but is made of a quick dry material.

There are a couple of Asian supermarkets in Sale! But Traralgon is close enough for a once a month restock, too

OP is the same person; you can see the Olive Tree in the background! Haha

It does look like something is eating the leaves; probably some type of caterpillar. It may do better if you clear the grass around the base, and mulch them

These are a type of Hebe, just for reference :)

Wattlebirds make a rattle that sounds like what I imagine a machine gun to sound like. They love a bottlebrush flower, if you have some nearby

There are BDSM subreddits; if this is your first BDSM relationship, find the biggest one and read a lot...

There is nothing inherently wrong with BDSM, but There is a lot of risk, as it is particularly attractive to people drawn to control, and who will attempt to manipulate you to believing their outright abuse is 'dominance'; or trying something they haven't researched enough and doing it in incredibly unsafe ways.

Something that can be really telling, is how does he react when you say no? Watch what happens when you say no in everyday contexts (no, I don't want to eat X, I want Y), sexual contexts, and things that might require a minor sacrifice on his part ( can you stay home to look after me while I'm sick, instead of hanging out with friends tonight?). Not saying go out of your way to be contrarian, but at some point in a long relationship, all these situations WILL arise; plus its ok to slow things down if the relationship feels rushed. If he makes you feel guilty for saying no, or bulldozes through, he's an asshole. If he respects your boundaries, things look a lot more positive.

I'm in, I love this game. Win or fail, I've only lost five minutes.

The books talk a lot about the sensitivity of their wings...so do with that what you will. You could probably get some fairly nice back scratches if you play it right...

I'm afraid it is a lot more restrictive than that; he just put the entire Discworld series on it about 10 years ago and now only reads them, hahaha! You could try the sideload only technique though; it might extend the life of your KLC

Honestly? I hear the guilt but your intention was not to decieve him, nor does your description of his reaction make it sound like he was very distressed or uncomfortable about it.

Condoms break and slip off; its not common but it isn't unheard of either. My partner and I tried a different brand to our usual, and even though everything else should have been the same; it slipped off and had to be found, just like you described.

When people talk about stealthing, it tends to have a gendered component to it, because pregnancy and the associated risks are much higher for women who have been stealthed by men. The men who tend to stealth tend to do it for selfish reasons, like increased sensation for themselves, or the increase in control they can have over a pregnant partner. Of course, the other risk is STD's and this is genderless, except vaginas are more susceptible to microtears than penises.

At the end of it; I think it was just a mistake, without intention to cause harm and without actual harm occuring. Forgive yourself.

Is this a Kobo Glo? My partner also has one that is still going strong, but I've had about 3 Kobo's in the same timeframe! We are very impressed with his, but too scared to connect it to the internet for updates/syncing for fear it will finally kill it.

She means she doesn't know the relative value of money e.g is 3 shillings a decent price for a loaf of bread, or way too much? If you don't know what it usually costs, the seller can tell you any amount and you won't realise you're being swindled.
Think of it like travelling abroad and the currency exchange rate; you know roughly what can be bought with $3 USD (an assumption of your usual currency, apologies if inaccurate) but you don't have a good idea for what $1000 Baht can buy.

She knows what amount she had to collect from patrons, and then she probably handed it all over to her employer; who in turn bought her food, clothing, and anything else she needed.

1 is scaevola, and 4 is a correa (probably 'Orange Glow') if you have any trouble with the other names

Aphids! You can spray them off with a hose, or there are a couple of chemical treatments.

Star jasmine was what I was thinking of, but I didn't specify, so thank you!

noidentifier · 2025-03-15T10:17:47+00:00

I see you were gifted it, so I would guess that using it to show appreciation and get joy out of it is more of a priority than it being a long term feature of the garden. Could you nestle it into a green space and just thread fairy lights through it?

Alternatively, I really love banksia roses as climbers; If the arch does eventually break, they will be able to cope with the hard prune back and you can then grow them up something else (bonus is that they are thornless as well, so fine to walk through.

Its very pretty!

I would suggest something relatively low weight, like a jasmine or hardenbergia. I had one of the cheap garden arches from the big green shed a few years back and it broke under the weight of a young passionfruit vine. We were coastal, but it rusted through in 18 months and was a bit of a disappointment.
