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!

  1. 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

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
