Marked out the veggie patch

I used the old bricks from the front wall of the house to mark out a section of the garden which will be for the veggies. All of these will have to be lifted again when I get soil to make the one level. Headache!

Yet to be lawned over, and barked within the veggie area.



 





Views of front garden

I've sewn a white petunia in the smaller black pots on the pathway - they haven't flowered yet.



Autumn sundown on the red robins

I happened to be up a ladder, entwining the orange creeper into the lattice on the front, when I turned to notice the light on the top of the red robins in late afternoon sun (Autumn). The new growth on the top was a lovely rich red colour.

Things are growing and filling out nicely.

Taffy in the sunshine

She loves to follow me around the garden on my morning walk. She loves her Mama. What a lovely girl!

Orange creeper + updates

Last few years - https://ticketsherself.blogspot.com/2018/05/first-flowers-on-orange-creeper.html

This year, first view of little buds:


12 May, 2019: I trimmed the orange creeper vine on the weekend (yesterday). 


The little thing is about to burst into bud and flower, now that the weather has cooled down - it was 7C one night recently!
