Removed due to problems with the photos @Former-Member. Reposting shortly.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Today's gardening- more weeding, planted a snapdragon, a species delphinium, erigeron and alyssum. One more square foot (or so) of flowers. 🙂

 

Have also been preparing a spot to plant parsnip seeds.... and in between, dreaming over other peoples' fancy veggie patches online. 😛

 

Love this naturestrip garden. (The homeowner has also well and truly filled up her back and front yards with edibles.)

I've wanted to do an archway or walk in teepee of beans for many long years. I wonder if I could manage it this year... ?

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Spent a bit of time today tackling a small thicket of asparagus weed that been previously sprayed (declared noxious) and binning it as per council instructions.  They are prickly blighters ... yikes.

Lovely @Determined. If it's getting her into a good state of mind, whatever got spent at Bunnings is a bargain.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Win-win @Smc  as it also gives me an opportunity to try and be creative with my camera Man Very Happy

 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

I actually went out with the initial intent of doing something in the garden myself but got sidetracked with the camera,
needed a 5 min break from the computer. 

We have a few shrubs that (in my opinion) need pruning and shaping as I like order lol.

 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Yeah @Determined, I like taking garden photos too. 🙂

 

Wish I'd had the camera to hand just now. As I was typing, a wattlebird landed on our window, and picked off a couple of insects.
