Utter and Total Neglect

 My first ever Lilac flowers - smell divine!

Spring - October 2012
I really do have the best and most clever garden.
I totally abandoned it 7 months ago and left it to its own devices.
7 months!
Not a drop of water other than from the sky, no seasol, no weeding, no pruning.
And do you know what - not one single plant died!
I know - 'mazing!

In fact, parts of it are positively flourishing.
So very, very clever.

Summer: Bang for ya Buck

I do love a lot of bang for my buck.
And don't these nasturtiums deliver?
Such tiny unassuming little dudes,
but they liven up any corner they live in.
This little one at the front gate is my favourite at the moment.

He's a mix of all three nasturtium colours (red, yellow, orange).
Don't they look like little paint smudges?




And I love their pinwheel leaves.


Look! They've got eyelashes!


AND....
you can even eat them!

Autumn 2009:: Nasturtiums

If I was a flower, I think I'd be a Nasturtium.
