De cluttering after Christmas

I am so pleased with myself this week,as I have achieved so much

Putting away the decorations a bit early this year because we are into a heat wave

The temps are going to be up to 43c for the rest of this week and into next

I find if I de clutter,it makes me feel cooler

The garden is glorious,blooms everywhere

The holly hocks are reaching way up into the trees

We have never had them grow so tall

The roses are the best ever

I sowed a whole packet of sunflower seeds,only to have one grow.

I think the black birds get them

In the vege patch

                                           I found  it easier to grow the simpler things like

basil,mint,parsley,sage,thyme tarragon

Tomatoes,cucumber,spinach,silverbeet and beans

Having only a small garden,some vegs take up too much room

I do manage potatoes too in any spare spots.

With the weather heating up I am enjoying visiting my blogger friends

in the Northern Hemisphere to see their lovely wintery photo's

I will be visiting their linky parties too

The links are on my side bar.

Looking forward to lots of good things happening in 2013
