Trimmed back and tidied up

This is the first time I have spent some time out in the garden since my holiday and I really did a lot of cutting back and weeding. It shows :)




I hope you enjoyed a wander through the garden..... word seem superflous.

    It's looking great after all your hard work. Love the red ginger, and did I see next to it a beehive ginger like we have here.

    Malay-Kadazan girl,
    It is amazing how quickly things start to look a mess at this time of the year when everything grows so fast!
    Missy,
    Yes I have a beehive but dont have a lot of room - cant let it get as big as yours! I love having it down the end of the path to entice people to wander down there.

    You have so many beautiful plants in your lovely garden & they all look the picture of good health! I know it requires quite some effort to keep everything looking so good! You've worked hard :)

    Ahhh... I can almost feel what it's like to be in the green gardens again. Your pics give me hope.

    Desiree,
    I am just so lucky to live in this climate, so really it is not an effort - just something I love to do. I was dancing around over the weekend saying - "I love my garden" - so I suppose that shows! (the neighbours already know I am crazy!)
    Carolyn,
    I cant wait to see what springs up after the snow melts in your yard! In the meantime - yes, go ahead and enjoy mine!

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 ...
