On the hunt for joy – start a garden

kzmcb12 Comments

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.

striking hibiscus (and it flowers!)

Eremophila, grevillea and other new natives – watch this space.

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.

  • bee catching calendulas with last year’s seeds sprouting at their feet
  • feijoas
  • strawberries still going
  • what IS that growing out of the compost?
  • banana capsicum
  • the new bed, behind the rosemary

And to include in Cee’s FOTD another calendula.
