During the last week the arrival of Autumn has become very noticeable. Daytime temperatures have plunged as much as 8 degrees (C) over a few days, and suddenly the trees have turned colour, from green to crimson in many cases. Given Armidale's concentration of deciduous trees, the effect is extremely attractive.
On the other hand, native vegetation is mostly not deciduous. The advantage is that our landscapes, especially the forested ones, always look green. Our garden has a balanced vegetation mixture, but that doesn't prevent a lot of work raking up of leaves as the deciduous trees are becoming mature. That task seems to fall (excuse the pun) to Dot - I seem to banned from most gardening tasks!
