Weekly winners from my garden

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: flower, Garden, Weekly Winners

My cooking yesterday morning inspired me to get to the nursery and buy more herb plants to fill my kitchen garden. And of course, I couldn’t just buy herbs once I got there! This all meant that I spent time in my garden yesterday, and had to get my camera out too!

New herbs for my garden

Tamara suggested I get some indigenous osteopermums for my garden, and I do actually have the plain ones already, but when I noticed these petal-spoon ones on special at the nursery, I just had to get some to add more purple to my garden.

And look what I noticed buzzing around my Felicia’s… check out the full pollen sacks on his legs!

wow – the photos are beautiful! … and good – you need time in the garden!
I don’t feel very inspired to do Weekly Winners but I shall have a go – feel drained after this week. The W family are doing fine – councelling has helped a lot. E, B and I went yesterday and stayed till late – traumatised but thankful they were not physically hurt…. we drank wine and celebrated life!
