Not so Secret Garden

I have discovered the joy of cultivating one’s garden. The last few weekends have seen me down in the dirt weeding, planting and paving. And smiling!

Bunnings is the new Red Eye Records. I can’t help myself – so many plants, so little space!

I have been eyeing off a certain Mexican chiminea. I plan to make this the feature of my newly overhauled garden. The pavers were all part of the grand plan.

I’ve also planted my first bulbs! Bulbs are flowers that bloom in spring. They remain dormant through winter and burst forth when they are ready. I’m excited by the prospect of watching and waiting for my freesias and irises to arrive, heralding the start of spring. Watching the days crawl by on a calendar seems so depressing in comparison.
