Ruby Tuesday – Whats in the Garden

Ruby proud of her guest book!

Hello! I managed to drop in to Ruby’s today for a cuppa, a catch up and a bit of a look to see what the garden was doing!

My sister Michelle had asked me to get a photo of the guest book she & her husband Tony had made (also from my parents). They did a beautiful job – Ruby now keeps it handy on the coffee table for other visitors to sign in case they missed out doing so at the party

I noticed Ruby had gotten into the garden and planted another row of potatoes! There is no stopping her!!

Margie made a mulch barrier, along with a bit of snail bait as some of the peas got chewed

Some more spring colours are working their way into Ruby’s garden too.

I can never remember this tree’s name – but I want one!

Can you imagine your garden without zucchini? It just seems a normal thing to put in to me… but Ruby remembers when they were unknown and when they were just being introduced into the gardens – People bought it to try it out then didn’t know what to do with them – and of course so many of them! lol.

Apparently there was a lot of trial & error and swapping information with neighbours!

Anyway – we are still getting a lot of off and on rain which doesn’t help us get the outdoor stuff very far along. Hoping we will be back to Ruby’s soon to sort out her strawberry patch!

Cheers!

This is actually a protea, not a real Waratah, but it is magnificent!
