THE GARDEN

I love this time of year in the garden with new plants flowering every day.  

A pale cineraria under the lemon tree

                                                                      The front garden 

I can't remember the name of this yellow flower but the bees and butterflies love it.

There are now several foxgloves in flower from white through to this pink.

Another foxglove in the back garden

The vegetable beds are turning into flower beds as self-sown plants pop up.

This bed of poppies was filled with spinach and Swiss chard over winter.

Another cineraria with the lovely yellow abutilon

We have been trying to get rid of algae in the fish pond so Doug made this container and we bought some watercress plants at the Market yesterday.  It looks happy.

Vegie gardening getting off to a slow start.  Cheating.  A punnet of Blue Lake Runner beans planted a few weeks ago and one of stringless scarlet runner bean purchased yesterday.  I must  sow some more beans in the next few days.

Some of the Amaryllis a neighbour gave us when she moved to Western Australia.
