I offer your a pictorial walk through the garden today. I haven't finished out there yet because we had a visitor and I didn't do what I had planned yesterday afternoon; there are still seedlings to be planted. I'll do that today. I thought you might like to see the back verandah too - I'm always quick to show you our front verandah. Later in the week, or next week, after I finish off the garden, I'll take photos of the final planting and the back verandah.
First there is work to be done.
And then there is morning tea and Facetime on the phone with daddy on father's day. Kerry is out west, working.
Kale, herbs and a potted Herb Robert.
Most of the new seedlings are going in this garden.
A potted Cleome - spider plant.
Potted pink lavender on the table.
Our Washington navel orange in full flower with next winter's fruit.
These beetroot, silver beet/chard and Lebanese cucumbers have been in for two weeks.
There is always an audience.
This is where we sit now. We have an umbrella for shade. Soon raspberries will grow up this trellis.
The last of winter's turnips and lettuce seedlings.
Parsley and thyme.
The elder tree is starting to fill with flowers.
Blueberry flowers. They should produce fruit all through summer.
We grow blueberries in tubs now. These were pruned in winter and are just starting to come to life again.
May the week ahead be a good one for all of us. I hope you have the time and energy to do all the work you need to do, both in and out of your home. And I hope there is time left over to enjoy your family and pets, to take deep breaths and to look around and appreciate every day. ♥︎
