Finally, a day off from gardening! So what did we decide to do with this free time? Go to the QLD Garden Expo in Nambour of course!
We wanted to get there early to see Costa Georgiadis (the guy from the TV series Costa'a Garden Odyssey). He was doing a talk on soil and giving tips on how to get your garden healthy and productive. The only problem was, I think the whole of the Sunshine Coast had the same idea! When we got there every seat was taken!
I sneaked my way behind the stage waving Neil's very professional camera around in the vain attempt that people would think I was an official photographer. It seemed to do the trick as people started moving and letting me in. Trying to get a decent photo was another drama as Costa doesn't keep still. This photo was taken at the one and only second he wasn't waving his arms around in the air!
We then went for a wander around the kitchen garden.
Neil posing with some VERY big pots!
Me posing with a VERY big fire pit!
There were lots of interesting display and stalls to look at.
And of course lots and lots of plants!
We bought some sweet potato from this stall to plant in our veggie garden.
We bought 6 jars of chutney from this stall. We could hardly walk away and not buy anything given that we had tried every one they had on the tasting table. It was hard to choose as they were all so yummy!
By this time I could see Neil was getting rather distracted by the pond displays.
We already have a pond on the front deck which we made ourselves.
But now Neil wants to build something like this in the back yard!
OMG I can feel another project coming on!
