Recent rains have meant that everything is blooming, budding, and GREEN! I just spent an hour mowing the lawn AGAIN, and it’s looking much healthier than it was in February.
I thought I’d share some of the things in our garden with you..
Lemons on our tree, we have a grafted tree, so we enjoy two varieties every year in abundent supply. This is why I want an ice cream machine! Next, the fig tree waking up; then the corner where the side beds meet the loquat tree; which is fruiting again!
Aloe vera plant STILL having babies like mad! Last year I gave away 12 plants to friends, but I think this year will need to move her into her own area in the ground. Next, our hydrangea plants starting to bud, and produce amazing white/blue flowers; the oleander plant that wont die! This has been attacked with a chainsaw, doused in petrol, and dug around, and yet WONT die! Poisonous, too! And lastly, our huge lawn!
Lavender bush – one of many in the front garden. They attract bees and beautiful lorikeets! Great for bird watching, and smell amazing as you brush past them on the way to the car. Next, a teeny tiny peach! A bird of paradise flower peeking over the back fence. And… our very neglected vegie patch. A mess of grass, weeds, and nasturtiums! There are some potatoes hiding in there, so the whole thing needs to be dug over.
And lastly.. my favourite feature of our garden..
How can you resist that? Scratch mah belleh!
We havent been out there since, to be honest, as it was just too depressing.
