I loved the photos. Most people who have trouble with Wallabies and Kangaroos try fencing their plantings and hope for the best. They jump fences or barge their way through. They will eat anything, so highly prickly plants like many Grevillea, are a deterrant. Unfortunately many do not do well in highly alkaline soils. Corinne It is exciting isn’t it, Trey?

From the other side of the world comes a comment on the Grevillea I mentioned. Quite exciting in that I learned some new stuff. We have a low phosphorus soil which Grevillea seem to like. The main concern here in Sierra Nevada Mountains and Foothills are deer, which Grevillea seems to resist. I had to laugh out loud when I read the comment on Wallabies eating them. I was wondering if you have Wallabie resistant plants, if there is such a thing? Trey Pitsenberger www.thegoldengecko.com I find it amazing where the readers of these blog are from.
