Garden changes.

We have made big changes in the back garden

We decided to plant some green manure in the cleared areas

to rejuvenate the soil ready for planting out.

As we will be putting roses in here it can grow and then rest until

the cooler weather.

These were the tree ferns which had suffered badly in the heat wave

and although they have come back quite nicely,we decided to take 

them out and put roses in here

We advertised the tree ferns on Gumtree and they sold

They are going to a good home in the hills where they 

will be cool and protected under trees. 

We are going to dig in blood and bone and lots of mulch

to get ready for the roses.

Beans growing nicely and this year covered in red flowers

Last year they were white

The capsicums are doing well

I left these plants in from last year

and they are still producing

The dwarf beans are coming up nicely too in the seed tray

These ones will be yellow

Herbs in pots doing well

I read on Pinterest that you can cut the root from a stick of celery

and plant it. This is the result when I tried it. Amazing

The apricot tree in a barrel,I grew from a stone

This is 3yrs old now. Should be fruiting next Christmas

Strawberries

Capsicums,tomatoes, silver beet and spinach

I think this is a pumpkin

It's come up from the dish water we throw on the garden

This palm ( I've forgotten the name) is in the way of where

the roses are going,so we've transplanted it into a pot

This rose "Clair Rose" 

will be transplanted into the new bed

It is getting too tall for its pot

Canna

Teasing Georgia

A new climber we planted in September last year

I'ts nearly to the top of the arch and so pretty

The old bay tree keeps on keeping on 

A bit of tidying to do here

This space at the side of the house is ideal for veggies

We've taken out old palms here to extend the veggie garden

Well that's the garden organized again

Can't wait to plant the roses. 

Have to wait for some cooler weather though.

I hope you're enjoying whatever you're doing this weekend
