Just finished watering the pot plants. With all the wet weather we've had over the cooler months, i'm out of the habit. Trying to get back into it, especially as temps heat up. #gardening #gardens #gardenAus
If i could have even a fraction of the same vibe as the ANBG in my back yard, would be very happy (obviously not on the same scale).
So excited - first African violet I've ever propagated is sprouting tiny leaves. Was from a leaf cutting that i placed in water till it grew tiny roots then transferred to a jar filled with LECA.

Magnolia blooms in the library gardens.
First walk in the park in ages. Poppies blooming in the library garden.

Yvonne PerkinsIt is a gorgeous day in #Melbourne today. I am about to go out for a walk but before I went I took some photos of the only flower in our garden at the moment - this camellia sasanqua 'Jane Morgan'. I couldn't decide which photo to share but chose this one as it also shows the winter sun with clear, blue sky in the background.
This camellia is another Bunnings bargain that I have snaffled - $5 about 4 years ago. It is not my favourite variety of camellia - but bargain!

I also repotted some plants this afternoon - see alt text for plant names. I bought the lavender and the cistus for $3 and some cents from Bunnings this morning.
Bunnings have a fairly boring selection of plants and sometimes some very over-priced plants. However, watch out for their specials table and their $3 something tube stock. If you know your plants you can pick up some good plants for a bargain price.

The man who works across the road and guards the plants in our #StreetGarden (from people who want to dig plants up and take them), gave me some old wire baskets to grow plants in.
Today I lined one with coir matting and emptied one and a half bags of potting mix in it (25 litre bags). I then planted some Christmas Lulium bulbs I had forgotten about. They had sprouted in a plastic bag in the garage. I also planted some Dwarf Iris Alida bulbs in the soil.
We had planned to hook this to the top of the fence but realised it would be way too heavy for the fence.
