Grand entrance

I am really liking the way the entrance looks from the front now.  My hubby took this photo.
 This green tree frog lives on our front veranda.  He seems to be giving me a little smile here :)
 Just look at his feet! - no wonder he can climb up the wall with no trouble.
Hopefully he is eating as many mozzies as he can!

    I agree - Lovely! Love the frog too - he and his mates will do a great job controlling insects.

    Lovely entrance and I hope mr frog is doing a good job of keeping down the mozzies. We have a virtual herd of green tree frogs on our verandah each night but I am not sure they put much of a dent in the mozzie population.

    Your entrance area has certainly come together well and it's looking terrific. Mr Frog will be working overtime soon as the summer brings in those hordes of insects.

    Giga,
    Oh I am sorry you don't have any frogs - they serenade us at night.
    Alison,
    thank you, yes everything grows here at double the rate at this time of year.
    Garden girl,
    Well, there are still mozzies around so don't know what they are eating :)
    Fiona,
    same here, this seems as though it is going to be a bad year for mozzies. Also the fallen lychees from the bats attract fruit flies! grr.
    Bernie,
    thanks, yes I am really happy with how it looks now.
    Desiree,
    It has evolved over time, but I like it this way... for now. :)
    Ami,
    Oh yes lots and lots of lychees.
    I wish I could share some with you.
    Kim, thank you!
    Stevie,
    glad I could warm up your day.
    Yvonne and Raphael,
    Thanks for stopping by!

    That's a beautiful entrance to your garden. I like your little helper. I've got one or two green tree frogs as well, but it is so hard to find them...green on green and hiding under leaves.

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 ...
