Hello Dhaaarlings...
In keeping with Miss MJ's annual garden event I've decided to post a few pics of my own here...

| The back garden |
Just so I don't feel left out...
It would be even better if I could work out how to get photo's to attach to emails at the same time .... give me a few more weeks to continue working on this a... contraption...

| The back fence with last years aquellegia /granny bonnets in flower We had a much better winter with a little more rain than past years which has given the garden a chance to recover from a very harsh summer. I hardly had a vegetable garden as the sun just dried everything out last year... Sadly... a lot of the garden is only just starting to come into flower so, I guess you can expect more posts like this from me as things get really blooming! |
I'm off to see how the Flag Iris are progressing...
Bottoms up Darlings...

Welcome back, Prinny!
ReplyDeleteWe need details on how you acquired so many bathtubs.
thanks MJ.
DeleteThe bathtub collection started after the empress broke her hip and needed floor level entry to the shower... nothing to step over, and following that i did a trip to the local recycle centre and picked up 6 for 10 dollars each. We live in an old gold mining town and i just don't trust the soil enough to grow veggies
Your garden is marvelous darling.
ReplyDeleteNow, is it just me but some of the pictures and the text at the bottom seem to slide underneath the banner on the right. I though it might be my browser (I'm using Firefox) so I tried with Chrome but it does the same thing.
Hugs
Jon
Thanks Huggy Jon,
DeleteI've just noticed the same thing. I'll have a little twiddle and see if i can't fix it darling
Hello Princess,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful. It must be wonderful walking about, enjoying the sights and scents of all your hard work. I see what you mean regarding the winter rain; your yard is much greener than in some of the pictures you've posted before.
The bathtubs are ingenious.
Well hello Mr Hawkke, how nice of you to call by... the pleasure is always mine.
DeleteYou are quite right. There is a noticeable difference when we have had some reasonable rains.
I don't know what chemicals are left over in the mining tailings but lead and mercury don't mix well with veggies, hence the bathtubs.
Lovely garden pix, Princess.
ReplyDeleteSince you live in the future, you could tell MJ that these are your 2015 Garden Photos!
I think the mistress would soon catch me out if I even tried to put that one over her!
DeleteThose bath tubs are a jolly good idea. I have an old butler sink that needs replanting... sinks, baths... maybe it's time to plant up the loo.

Dear Miss Scarlet, Planting up a loo is not as silly as it sounds and you can get them really cheap at the recycle depots... I might start a garden using a collection particularly if they are the older coloured ones. I could call it "An homage to pooh corner"
DeleteI'm liking that idea too...I might have to nick it...
ReplyDeleteGo for it Darling Roses,
DeleteThey make a wonderful mixed herb garden too.
I love your garden, Princess! I could happily spend hours pottering about in it. Don't you dare "declutter" the rose beds - that euphorbia and lavendar are beautiful.

DeleteI'm sure that the Empress would make you feel very welcome in your pottering...
in fact she is already making you a list...
Your so lucky to have so much space to do things in! Always a real treat to see your lovely garden!!!! I can't wait to see the summer blooms either! You always have such color.. Would you by chance have any English cucumbers hon?
ReplyDeleteThanks Maddie. Gardening is one of my most joyful ways of relaxing.
DeleteStay tuned for summer blooms... Tho their quality will be dependent on how much heat we get...
Just Gorgeous, I can tell what you did with some of your time away from the internet...!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wally, Quite a bit of it has been done since the show ended in August... It's a great way to wind down...
