WINTER ?

A beautiful sunny day here today, a couple of short showers but nothing much.  It is winter but I just went to see if I could find some thrushes or blackbirds to photograph but none were around.  Instead I found the roses are in bud



and so is the geranium (pelargonium) .



The garden that Doug built up at the end of March is coming on well.






the guavas that have just finished fruiting have set a fresh lot of fruit.

  1. We have guavas galore, the day lily is blooming, grape hyacinths are showing tall stems, and dutch iris have stems at least 2 foot high. But the air is cool, the fire is lit, and winter clothes are on.

    1. Our guava finished a few weeks ago but have now set another lot. It is not cold but we have the fire going for the damp air.

  2. Have you had much more rain there? We've had never ending days of it, I kept wanting to send it South.

  3. The garden looks very green and productive. You could be forgiven for thinking it's winter here this morning with grey skies and steady rain. Quite a shock to the system after the warm weather we've had lately.

    1. Yes, everything is very green. I hope we don't get frosts. 14 degrees C. at 9.30 p.m. which is warm for winter. I believe it has been very hot there so hope the rain is welcome.

  4. We've had a couple of torrential showers today, but it certainly is not cold. The poor plants don't quite know what they are meant to be doing, do they :)

  6. Everything looks good in the garden. I can assure you that a garden here would never look that way in winter!

    1. Although our winters are mild compared to yours the garden should not look like this - this is more a spring garden.
