Welcome! I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous boys, proud owner of an online handmade store and an avid gardener. This blog records most of my gardening journey over a few properties. We have recently moved to a new permanent property and it's time to start gardening again! I enjoy time-out in my home garden looking at and photographing birds, insects and plants. It is also a haven for my sons and golden retriever. May you enjoy your visits here. :)

Patch Next to Garage & Some Flowers Update.
Early this morning, I thought I just needed to drive two pegs into the ground around my olive and plum trees and add potash to my tomato silvery fir and chilli fire. It was not meant to be. I spent about 2 hours instead with a seemingly never-ending list of things to do - weeding, staking, tying loose cucumber vine shoots, hand pollinating, adding potash, watering, evening out mulching, harvesting more sweet potato leaves for lunch, caterpillar hunting....it went on and on and on...fewh!
Anyway...the calendulas are flowering again! I have pruned off dead branches recently and they are doing so well in this clay soil. :)
The two candy tufts are also doing well! They are forming a circular clump while extending themselves...so adorable looking. Hoping for some white flowers soon. :)
The single bush of white daisies and two bushes of blue daisies are also expanding. Soon, there may be no room for expansion! It's amazing how barren this patch used to be and how fast the plants are filling it up!
