What native plants in Sydney,Australia will grow in theshade?
I would like to have a nice pot near my front door but the problem is that it doesn't get a lot of sun, if any at all. I could move the pot to be in the sun but it would get the afternoon sun but not for very long. Can anybody help me with some Australian native plants for the Sydney area that will tolerate this? I have heard that Correas like shade but have also read that they prefer full sun, so I'm confused. I would like something flowering. Thanks for your input.
Lack of light is difficult to quantify without a light meter but if the area is not very dark as in not a southern exposure and it gets some partial light it is worth trying. The best thing about pots is that you can rotate them about so they spend a week or two at peak flower by your door then exchange them with another set that have been getting better light. The term “half shade” when used to describe a plant’s needs means that the plant will do best in—or can withstand—sunlight for just half a day or about 4 hours. Some plants do best with only morning & evening light but will fry with noonlight. Moister soil helps plants handle more sun. Other plants can tolerate shade only if early or late and will be happiest with their light exposure at noon. You may do well with Hibbertia (Trailing Guinea Flower) loves understorey shade like it was growing under gum trees but it will need a support trellis. Perhaps it can grow up into the light? http://davesgarden.com/guides/ pf/showimage/147074/ http://www.chah.gov.au/images/ photo_cd/732131822164/054.html Running postman (kennedia prostrata) is a red pea flowered ground cover. http://www.sgaonline.org.au/pl ant_kennediaprostrata.html http://davesgarden.com/guides/ pf/go/54269/ Mint bush in a variegated leaf form of Prostantheras ovaliflolia http://bluemts.com.au/MountTom ah/weeklyplant/2003/Prostanthe ra.htm http://asgap.org.au/p-ball.htm l http://www.smgrowers.com/produ cts/plants/plantdisplay.asp?pl ant_id=2623 Austrostipa ramosissima ( Australian Plume Grass ) http://www.smgrowers.com/produ cts/plants/plantdisplay.asp?pl ant_id=2356 Hebe 'Turkish Delight' has purple bronze foliage. http://www.greenhillspropagati on.com.au/plantlist.php?v1=gen us&v2=H Correas.

How has Sydney, KY beenaffected by the ice storm andsubsequent power outages?
I suppose I could just e-mail Sydney, KY and ask that way, but it's much more fun to ask like this. I hope God is looking after Sydney, KY, and I hope the weather beanus shows some mercy in the near future. That ice storm was no joke.
Sydney, KY is doing OK. There are lots of trees and power lines around Sydney KY that are down, but fortunately Sydney has been able to maintain power. The weather beanus is heading towards Sydney again the beginning of next week. I hope it shows Sydney some mercy!
Having difficulty finding workin Sydney since the recession?Especially casual teachingwork?
I have just graduated from teaching and I have had trouble getting casual work. I am looking to work in special schools across Sydney. I have had experience with students with additional needs. Anyone else having trouble, is it because of the recession?
My nephew just graduated; and he had a bit of trouble at first. It could have a little to do with the recession (eg, older married teachers now returning to teaching), but I think it is a minor thing. Here's what my nephew did: Went to every school within an hour's drive from his home. Asked to see the Principal or deputy, and took with him a copy of his resume. Mentioned that he was looking for casual work, with a view to a full time position (otherwise, they might think you are an itinerant). At first he got a day or two here and there; then a week or two; now he is working full time. Don't be afraid of travelling a bit; and because of your experience; make sure you approach schools in areas where there is a high non-anglo proportion in the population. I would be very surprised if you did not pick up some work.
