HOW GREEN IS YOUR GARDEN?

with the rather unusual weather we've been having, the garden's getting a real head start on summer... sure we're gonna cop in heatwave style in january-march, but right now, the garden is totally loving the cooler days and shock horror - the rain.
here's a selection of what's happening right now at the homestead:

the honeysuckle is FINALLY flowering

the coral barked maple

my three (hopefully cacti-styled) dahlias are making headway amongst the zinnias

we're gonna have a lotta lemons! the smell of lemon flowers washes through the back yard - awesome!

the gardenia is finally flowering, but is struggling somewhat. i don't think i've got the knack with these things yet...

gladioli - a vibrant red one. looks great amongst the yellow field daisies and lavender

the lebanese cucumbers are ripening up - by christmas day we'll have five or six to eat!

the clematis! finally! it's here!



a lil' punk cosmos with it's stripe...

Hi guys, can you please start slacking off with your renos and garden? You are making us look bad!

Garry has already compared us to you guys and said we are dragging the chain. THANKS.

Looks awesome. I especially like the punk cosmos.
