Gardening in waiting

My hubby just sent me a photo of how I left all my shopping spoils last night. It was too late to do anything other than unpack the car and leave it all on the front verandah.  I cant wait for the weekend so that I can get out into the garden and play with all my new stuff...

    Ah, garden stuff. There is no better kind of shopping spree. All the hopes and dreams of a gardener sit on that back patio !

    Your greenery looks inviting. After you are finished with the planting, I'm sure it will be even more appealing. Have fun!

      LindaLee,
      It was overcast and drizzly but that didnt deter me, and it actually meant it was a little cooler.

      Oh thank you, your book looks awesome. I actually posted it on my hubby's facebook and he is now concerned that everyone will think he has turned into a gardener! thank you for your kind comments.

    It looks like you have reaped the rewards of the Bunnings garden trip. You will have a lot of fun with these goodies and who cares if you left it outside, with gardening, everything can wait another day :D

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 hung up at the op shop and hopefully this will continue to be

Garden share collective June 2014

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 out of the garden .... so far we have

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!
