Sweet Scents


My two lovely frangipani trees did not flower this year :( . I miss the lovely scent that comes with them. I beleive it is the inconsistant weather we have had. Well instead I will have to admire this magnificent dark pink frangipani that I spotted in Bali recently.

Pick and Eat

Grow Gorgeous Lettuce
Grow leaf variety lettuces during Summer rather than head forming types. Picking the outer leaves shocks the lettuce into thinking is not big enough to go to seed. These types of lettuce are called "Pick and Eat". Pick and Eat varieties allow you to pick just the amount you need in your salad or sandwich and keeps the rest fresh on the plant.

Green-Life


Now this would make the neighbours green with envy.

Fly be free


Turn your computer off and go outside...

Pretty in Pink.

Hydrangeas are easy to grow in a shady spot in the garden or in a well lit patio or veranda.
They flower mainly through Spring and Summer and are a popular cut flower.

Bloom'n Good

Think Roses




It's time to start thinking about what roses you might like to plant in the garden this winter.
Maybe you could devote a garden bed or fence line to some roses. Think about grouping roses in similar colours like pinks, apricots and corals or colour blocking with one single colour. We have a block of about thirty yellow "Gold Bunny's" and it looks fab.

What' Happening in My Garden


Carex ( the fine brown grass) and dianella grasses are doing well in the dry heat.

Unusual Black Agapanthus are flowering.


The Kalamata Olive tree in the backyard is fruiting.

My eggplants are flowering and the white pearl eggplants are fruiting so we will be enjoyingg our favourite chicken and eggplant curry very soon.

Happy Gardening!

Bring the outdoors in

 There are many benefits of having plants indoors. They help oxygenate the air, they look much better than fake plants and they make you feel good.

Living Colour!


Take inspiration from this alleyway in Italy. Try this at home by gathering miss-matched pots and wall baskets and filling them with flowering plants. Think Hydrangeas, dwarf bougainvilleas and geraniums for upright growth and blue lobelia and trailing petunias for hanging baskets.
