Garden notes, 1 March 2019

The warm weather over the past week has encouraged a few things to bloom in the garden, and the rest is courtesy of the garden centre!  We have lots of pots which, by this time of year, are looking pretty awful so a trip to the garden centre is something I always enjoy and then fiddle around with my purchases to try and make things look a bit more cheerful and springlike!
Outside the garden there are some lovely things going on too!
In the cold frame I have some sweet pea seeds, just planted the other day, and some rose geranium cuttings which I took last year and now need hardening off. Things are starting to happen in the garden, and that can only be good!

    It looks truly spring like - love the shot of the crocus, trees and across the fields...good enough to be in a magazine.
    WE are desperate for rain. Its hot and dry and their are bush fires up in Gembrook and other areas of the Dandenongs. The sky is pink from smoke and there is a strange hue that makes our skin look orange. C was most amused as she headed off to the beach with a friend!! Laughing... because they looked like they had faked tanned themselves...and badly!!!!! Hee hee!

    Another few days of hot dry winds and then it cools down. The fire fighters and residents in the fire zones will be grateful.

    Thank you for such a lovely post of springness! xxx

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see.  One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was.  However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane.  It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, a lo

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage
