Today I thought I'd treat you to a horticultural tour of my garden. After a walk around the garden, I've counted 25 different flowering plants, uploaded here for your sensory pleasure. The passion fruit vine I have isn't captured but the berry-ish thing of the tree it grows on, in case you're counting and thinking "Hey wait, that's 24 flowers and a berry!"
This is only the plants that are currently blossoming. There is a good handful of other shrubs, trees, palms that are busy doing their thing in my garden.
And then there's my gardening project... I planted wild strawberries from seed in these two pots yesterday. Here's hoping they don't notice that it's not February and they germinate and bear fruit for when Steph and Erik visit in April!
The plan was to hang them from these nifty-tacky macrame plant hangers made from rope but it turns out the pots are way too heavy and I was afraid the hooks I screwed in wouldn't hold, so these plants which have been outside got a new home outside.
And these two planters are the site for my herb garden. I'm planting in planters so the dogaroos (who followed me around on my little photo safari) don't dig them up. They usually scratch the top surface of dirt up and lay down in it to keep cool... not great prospects for the survival of all the seeds I'm planning on sowing.
And then there's my outside home base with the branches I've suspended with kitchen twine and hung things from. I totally love these! I've been collecting stuff to hang here since I dreamt up the idea. I made it happen on Christmas Eve.
There a few of these huge moths hanging around my door. This guy has found a great place to camouflage himself. Herself? Gender neutral moth? There are also loads of butterflies fluttering around these days. But I haven't captured any on pixels yet.
