Not much happening. Winter.

Not a lot going on. Plants dying down for the sleepy time. Some plants photographed from other gardens on my morning walk.







Grading, and marking, and more grading.

Chinoiserie in your home

New pots for balls of green

I bought two new black pots from The Reject Shop and potted two small green minamins therein.




I want a series of balls of different sizes around the garden. I am almost approaching my limit for those though. Can't have too many, or can one?!

This is from Mark Syke's garden:

Little orchid cometh up

I think these are called Christ orchids. I am pleased to note the colour is different to the orange ones I have had before.


First winter fog in our area

Welcome to Winter! The first official day is today. There was a fog this morning, too, still evident at 7am.










Big new leaves

Many of the palm leaves are growing longer than the fence height now. I am so pleased, as I love the look. It's (the garden) is beautiful, the new leaves are beautiful.

Front door pots

I finally managed to find the time and energy to repot these ficus standards into the pots I had bought for them, ages ago, maybe even last year. I think the slimmer, more upright shape suits the area better.




Better than the older black plastic pots, I reckon. (The below pic from 26 Oct, 2019).
