Winter garden on a Greek island
The garden tap
The smashed pomegranate is still there...... bringing good luck
A pot of rosemary on the left
The usual winter greenery
Nasturtiums, oxalis and other weeds
A tranquil sea of green
The sun will always shine
Even though it's lost a few rays
Rose geranium, oregano and sage
Herbs are the only crop that thrives summer and winter
A tomato plant
It came up from a composted salad and is still surviving through wind and rain and icy sleet
At the moment it has a flower too
I'm not expecting tomatoes but it's a small miracle in my winter garden
My money plant. Also known as a jade plant
I trim it down to almost a stump and it grows and prospers again and again
Ks backyard
As usual a sea of weeds which will be cleared for Easter
A lovely sea of green and I do like your sun.
ReplyDeleteI love the sun but it's such a pity it got broken.
DeleteEvery few years I plant oregano.. then end up pulling it out when it takes over. I've finally wised up and planted it in a narrow garden edged with concrete. Can't go anywhere and thriving
ReplyDeleteOregano is a very hardy plant. Mine doesn't take over, neither does the mint. But they both grow well.
DeleteYour garden looks similar to mine with the same herbs that I use in cooking quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love herbs. I've got thyme as well, lavender and parsley
DeleteLovely herbs, mine are contained in a vintage wheelbarrow nowadays, but still convenient to my kitchen door.

Herbs are an essential in any garden. Love the smells. I'm always looking for more
Deleteam waiting for my oregano to take over in the Sounds garden. I need a few more of those ace ted plants of yours to thrive - scented geraniums would be good - the nasturtiums have finally started to behave like weeds but the pumpkins have escaped the garden and are suffocating the nasturtiums now!
ReplyDeleteOxalis and nasturiums battle for control here in the winter. In summer the pumkins are king, or queen. Im lucky they don't all grow at the same time
DeleteNothing nicer than lots of green in your yard.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you put a cover on the little tomato plant will it thrive and give you fruit in the summer
I hadnt thought about protecting the tomato plant. That's a great idea. More small plants have come around it now
DeleteThat Oxalis really is a pain. I had it at Haddock's, and my neighbour's cleaner told me she'd thrown a few bulbs over the wall. It was all her fault, and she just laughed!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the oxalis dries up completely in the summer. Its not there to strangle the tomatoes and summer plants
DeleteIt's miraculous when plants grow despite poor beginnings.
ReplyDeleteIt is all very green for a Greek island.
