was a fairy here?

Venturing outside during a break in the unending rain, I found a discarded fairy dress.  My gosh, it looks as though she just stepped out of it right now.... is she still around here somewhere?

Oh, no, it must have been just a fallen flower, look how many there are around..

I do like to think though that if there were fairies that needed a new party dress, that they would know they were welcome to come and dance in my yard anytime.

    That first picture does look like a fairy dress! Aren't fallen flowers so pretty on the lawn?

    They are Floridagirl, although I am by now very tired of the continual rain which brings them down. We are getting snippets of sunshine every now and then so I am hoping....

    Does your dry season get as dry as your rainy season seems wet? Then what happens to your plants?

    Adrian,
    No, we still get rain in the "dry" season, and that is the best time to grow anything. we mostly will just get a shower two or three times a week during the dry season, but the temperature and humidy are down a bit. Very comfortable. that is when we grow "regular" vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, lettuces etc. A lot of the really tropical plants like gingers die right back and become dormant in the dry season. This is their climate and they seem to know exactly how to adapt!

    Who knows? They might have actually enjoyed those lovely outfits and returned back to their fairyland!

Up-cycling fabrics

   In our hot and humid climate, jeans are not big movers in our op shop.  We had a $1 a pair sale rack, and still have full racks..... so I decided to make up a few different bags to see if we can somehow save these items from landfill.  Re-fashioning those items into something useful.  I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out! Each one is individual, depending on what fabric I have available. I tend to lay things out, and then just play around a bit.   Here I am laying out all the options before I start sewing.  I have joined a facebook group which is so inspirational and supportive.      Up-Cycled Cloth Collective | Facebook So often, it is just a case of seeing what is there, and then using it in the best way possible.  I was excited to find this tote bag, which was perfect as the lining of a bag for a teenager. this was also snapped up quickly. The bags were hu...

I have something to tell you.....

Come on in to my garden.... I have something to tell you  Sit down in the comfy chair  for a little while, and listen to the tinkling of the wind chimes - are you relaxed? Good!  Remember how I entered that garden competition, and the judges came, and they wandered down my paths, taking photos?  Yes! I won runner up! a Fifty dollar gift card ........ from a real nursery, not the big box store that I normally shop at.  Oh gosh, how exciting.... I wonder what I will buy? Thank you Cairns Regional Council!

Garden share collective June 2014

Image
Once again another month has rolled by and it is time to link up with  Lizzie at   strayedtable  for our monthly collective where we share what has happened in our gardens for the last month and what we hope to be working on for the next month.  Wrapping up May and heading into June. Last month I wanted to work on: Seed tape .... I did make seed tape, and did a tutorial on the processs - you can see it  here.   It was fun, and worked well, expecially with kids. Mostly though I see a space and throw a few seeds in.  I can see myself doing it at the beginning of a planting season. Worms . .... I have been adding a little of the worm castings every time I plant something, and as a side dressing when plants seem to need a bit of a boost.  It does seem to help. Sitting .... plenty of that - I like the new (original) location of the swing where we have a long view of the garden. - veggie garden is just around that corner.... Eat veggies ...
