So, this week, as Cee encourages us all to hunt for joy, she suggests starting a garden.
We already have a garden, but we’re constantly changing things and since the chooks are gone, we’ve planted some natives and are striking some hibiscus.
Then I took a stroll and snapped the new garden beds, my productive strawberries, the things growing out of compost, banana capsicum and feijoas (pineapple guava) ready to pick and my bee magnets. All because it made me so happy to do so.

what IS that growing out of the compost?

And to include in Cee’s FOTD another calendula.

Love the last shot!

Thank you. They’re such a cheerful flower, as well as bringing in the bees.

Oh, so that’s why you call it a cold crop? I can’t imagine spring being that cold, but then I can’t imagine snow, either. For us, a cold crop would be a winter crop which we’d plant now. Good luck with your planting and the general improvement of health in your country.

nice garden! We are starting our second garden this year – sadly we have black thumbs, but we are going to keep trying until we get it right!

Haha I’ve never heard of black thumbs before. We’ve had 30 years of trying things, so thankfully we got there. All the best with your garden.

Here on this side of the world I am just turning the dirt for the year and planting the cold crops. I look forward to a harvest like yours!

Thank you. You might be on the same side of the world. I’m in Australia and they are autumn crops or still going from summer in the case of strawberries. Where are you?

I am in Massachusetts and we are in late Spring but here that means the snow is just coming off the ground. We still have nights of frost and may have for the rest of May.
