According to Google, June 21st 2022 is the shortest day of the year for Australia.
By 2pm the whole of the vegetable garden area will be in total shadow.Same here where the solar panels for the fishpond filter won’t be able to do there job.The lawn along the rear of the house only gets sun for a couple of hours in the morning throughout winter.However, the sun does peek through the natives here and there to give some warmth to the carrots a little longer. From the outdoor kitchen/dining area we can see the shadows filter through the deciduous trees and shrubs.
Over the next two weeks, we may just spy the shadows beginning to creep back the other way back to greet the Spring.
In the beginning I potted as many plants as possible, watched where the sun and shadows would be throughout the year and moved pots to improve the amount of sun and shadows each plant needed. Some just didn’t survive and what wouldn’t, no matter where I moved them, I didn’t replace them. I think I have a better balance of larger shrubs and smaller potted plants to keep it compact but tidy. I no doubt will lose more while others thrive. If I had half of Jackie’s knowledge and experience, my garden would be a masterpiece. 🙂 I’ve learned a lot from your posts and Jackie’s garden.
It’s the beginning of summer today. The shifting of the shadow is visible in our garden as the earth tilts and the sun shows in front of behind of a long row of cypress trees. Nice photos, Chrissy.

I think even Jackie would have trouble packing in as much as you do.
