My Winter Garden

 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

  2. Every 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

  3. Your garden looks similar to mine with the same herbs that I use in cooking quite a bit.
