Hi!! Not a lot of action happening around here to report in on… but a bit of a wander through the garden to enjoy some spring flowers?
My broccoli is all bursting with flowers now…. eventually I’ll yank them out – I don’t need more seed – but for now the bee’s can enjoy (and so will I)
The pear tree has lots of buds and blossoms. Hope they hang on tight… so windy today!
In the hothouse, a few seedlings have poked up through the soil in their pots. Surprisingly there are a few tomatoes appearing already! Seems my plan of holding back a bit before planting might have timed things better.
A couple of cucumbers have appeared to0
And a few cos lettuce
Oh no!! I literally just remembered as I am typing just now that last night I forgot to go cover up the slug ravaged capsicums…. 🙁 It will be a miracle if they are nothing more than sticks!! Sob. (I’ll go down and look and report back in a few minutes)
Still getting enough lettuce for nightly salads!
Yay – snow peas!
The ‘Mortgage Lifter’ tomato has flowers!
I spotted Tentaculars first flower of spring. He didn’t get cut back at all over winter as I was still getting passionfruit late.
Lots of purple and blue flowers blooming right now. Bee’s are humming!
Bee didn’t stick around long enough for a proper photo…
The borage is lovely!
Little pansies
Chives
Sage
Thyme
Snails… haha – ew. I was too lazy to go back down to the chooks with this lot so I flung them way over into the paddock. They’ll have a long walk back if they want my sweet peas.
I don’t even know what this is… its on a good sized bush but the flowers are tiny!
And the tulips.
The iris are in the same bed but the snails just keep on keeping on! Every time I go near the bed I see heaps more despite picking them off and either feeding to the chooks or jumping on them
I love the yellow ones!
Although the deep purple ones are fab too.
Okies…. thats enough for your eyeballs for now!
I need to go bring up wood, take down compost, chook treats, pick lettuce and (sigh) see whats left of the capsicum.
I am planning to disappear overnight tomorrow with Sharon and Lottie and go to Cradle for a couple of days hiking. I think its snowing…
Enjoy your week,
Cheers!
PS – So… I checked out the capsicums… somehow they’ve not been reduced to sticks as I expected!! So lucky. I must have managed to find and squash the bulk of the slugs the other night.
They are covered up again – although they need taller covers now (adds to To Do List)
Such beautiful colours! So nice to see spring flowers starting. Makes me remember that winter is around the corner for us. Not looking forward to it as we’re not travelling south this year.
Have a nice few days away and enjoy your friends’ company and the hike.
xxoo
Yes… really enjoying seeing colour and the start of new plants again… and fresh food!!
I can imagine it won’t be much fun stuck for the winter! 🙁 We felt the same … Japan will have to wait another year!
