and spring is on its way although it doesn't feel like it today. The N.S.W. Waratah are in flower and Doug took these photos from our kitchen window. What's not to like.
Following our very wet and stormy summer we had more wind and rain over winter. Because of the flooding we had been warned of shortages in vegetables but luckily ours did well even though I had to stake the cauliflower due to the strong winds.
With some good weather over the last couple of weeks we have started to get ready for summer planting. Hopefully, better weather will return next week and we can get on with preparing the vegetable beds for summer and planting the few flower plants I have purchased. Doug got the potatoes in the ground a week ago and they are starting to show above ground.
I always loved Spring in the Veg' patch. Sadly I no longer have one.
ReplyDeleteSpring in the whole garden is good.
DeleteGood to see your flowers and birds. We're edging out of summer so I guess your spring must be on its way.
ReplyDeleteWe hope so. The year so far has been one storm after anofher
DeleteWet and battered here after Storm Agnes..luckily we didn't get the worst of her.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the birds from your window. And the Waratah as well!!
Our Bird Window is at the front..Starlings feeding on the Himalayan Honeysuckle in hordes!!
Glad you missed the worst of the storm. The Waratahs are in the front as well. Lively to watch the birds from the kitchen window.
DeleteLovely
DeleteThe waratahs are gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen those before
ReplyDeleteThey are doing well. A 12 year old protea died suddenly because of all the rain.
DeleteThere is absolutely nothing not to like outside your kitchen window. Glad you are both 'still here'!
ReplyDeleteLife just seems to have flown by lately.
DeleteI wondered where you had gone to. It's nice to see bird life in the garden, we've had pigeons and tuis
ReplyDeleteUsually we get the Tuis in the back garden so it is nice when they come to the Waratahs in the front.
