Well done. That looks great. It gives me some hope that we might also be able to renovate our place rather than knock it down and start from scratch. It'd…

Yeah thanks for that. They look great.
I have my Hakea now, but it is still in a pot. I will probably chuck in in over the long weekend.

Thanks mate. I am still planing on having a Hakea laurina (pincushion) on our verge. I've seen a couple around our area.
I will certainly go down to Apace to…

Hey Polly,
