Treasures from yesterday

This afternoon we picked up our new guest, Mana, so today was a day of making sure her room was prepared, a cake was ready for afternoon tea, and all that kind of stuff. (Will post some photos of Mana once she has had a good sleep! 30 hours of travel since she started from her home!)

Emma fossicked through the garden to put some fresh flowers in her room

Welcoming bunch

I think she did a lovely job! I hadn’t realised we still had such a variety in the garden

Bright colours

I had to pick a few of the cucumbers before they got too big

Cucumbers

The oca is looking reasonably good. No idea if I will get any tubers of them. They are a new thing to me – (since coming here anyway) they are awesome baked!

Oca – a long time from planting to digging up!

A little bit of autumn from our poor little Japanese Maple. Now that we have more water I will be able to nurture it a lot better.

A touch of autumn

I save, or get Ruby & Margie to save meat trays. I find them useful for catching water under pots. At times I can have a lot of cuttings or seedlings on the go.

The laterals in their new homes – lets see if they survive winter.

The three successful laterals in pots finally

One of them seems to be trying to grow a tomato!!

Keen!

It was a gloomy day today – much in contrast to yesterday! Still, lets hope for some sun so we can take the girls to some more beaches!

Evening creeps up on Flowerdale

Have a lovely day – weekend is nearly here! 🙂

A happy traveller through life! Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens. We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.

  1. Tell Emma, lovely little arrangements. If she ever wants to learn floral design she can come work for me and explore maritime Canada!

  2. Those flower arrangements are gorgeous! And I love the maple, I used to have a gorgeous red maple in the front yard of my sticks and bricks….after we sold the house the new owners removed it! Oh well

    1. Maples are so beautiful – would have been sad to see your old one removed!! I really want to put in some more of them. Just for the autumn pleasure!
