My Garden

 Green, green

The grass is green.

But we have no grass ....

Just oxalis and nasturtiums 

Last year was the year of the nasturtium. They took over all my winter garden. This year the oxalis has taken over, turning the brown earth to green.

And there are bees.  I heard bees buzzing among the yellow oxalis flowers.  It's a long time since I've heard bees.  They used to love the mint flowers in summer.  Maybe they'll be back enjoying the mint in a few months.

Our new door decoration.  We have this boat lit up at night.  The lights are very bright.  It's a pity we don't have passersby who can admire it too.

The lights come on automatically at 8 and turn off at 2am.  K loves fixing the electrical stuff

The grape vine is greening and so are the roses.

Poppi yet again did some perfect pruning

I love the way the nasturtiums come in a colour range

We have a pelican in the old wheelbarrow.  The rocket is still growing but it is almost time to plant a few tomatoes

A beautiful display of whatever these are

The mint under the garden tap grew all winter

Another colourful display.  However I've since had to pull this out.  It suddenly gasped it's last breath

Clean up is proceeding. I've already filled 3 huge bags of sorrel and nasturtiums

I've left a cover of nasturtiums in one corner.  They're still flowering

I shall turn this old outdoor grill into a planter too.  It's already got a good layer of old ash at the bottom
