Spring is in the air – flowers are blooming in the garden
Spring is here in Melbourne and it has been so nice going out into the garden to see what is flowering. I planted lots of bulbs and have done my best to make sure I […]
Winter has began in the garden and inside
Winter has hit us hard this year. I know we don’t get winters like many people around the world, in that it doesn’t snow and compared to some countries doesn’t get that cold. Then again […]
Going into winter and the greenhouse
I’ve had my greenhouse for over 6 months now and I still love it. One of the things I wanted to find out was would I be able to grow tomatoes in it during winter.
Into the Cosmos, or maybe just into a cosmos
Quick post today. I was thinking of not doing one at all but then thought why don’t I just share a few images of the cosmos that are growing in my garden.
Getting something other than flowers
In the last post, I think it was, I showed you a heap of photos that I took with the Lensbaby Composer Pro II and the Sweet 35 optics on my Fujifilm X-S10.
Day 3 was all about the flowers and my Lensbaby
Finally, I got around to concentrating on taking photos of just the flowers. If you can believe that. Though, that isn’t really true either, but I did go there with that intention.
Day 2 – Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
I was up very early again this morning as I made my way back into the city for the Melbourne Flower Show.
Day 1 – Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
Today was the day, the first one actually for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. The first time in three years as the last two were cancelled because of COVID.
What’s up with my watermelons?
I have no idea. I’ve been growing them, watering them, I have even given them food. Seriously how long does it take for a watermelon to ripen?
Trying to get growing tomatoes right
Why oh why are tomatoes so hard to grow? This is a question I’ve been asking myself a lot.
Not so many flowers
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. It is true I’m struggling with the garden and getting lots of flowers. I know what the problem is and this winter I have a lot of […]
Setting up outdoor spaces
I don’t know if you have noticed, but this blog is veering away from photography a bit. While I will always love photography it has taken a back seat a little.
What to do with Raspberries
I can still remember the very first time I ate fresh raspberries. I was 20 and I bought some on a whim to try. OMG I was so surprised at how good they tasted. They […]
First garden update for the year
While this is always mainly going to be a photography blog I also want to be able to discuss other things and therefore my garden is going to be part of those discussions.
Sweat, blood and swearing
Yep, it was when we were trying to put together our new Sproutwell Garden Pro 2400 greenhouse. The worse instructions for anything I have ever seen.
The dahlias are planted
It is that time of the year. I’ve been out in the garden a lot in the last few weeks, and there will be more posts on that to come. However, while I was weeding […]
Getting the garden ready
As I said the other day I’ve been spending a lot of time in the garden. I really want the garden to work. There is nothing like being able to walk outside and pick what […]
Right now it is all about the garden
Spring has sprung and it is full speed ahead for the garden getting it ready for summer.
Winter in the Garden
It has been so cold around here and we have had so many frosts. It is surprising that anything is growing, but growing it is.
