Is it nearly time yet??

We are waiting very patiently.... waiting for our new house. It will be about 3 weeks apparently.... we will see:)

But in the mean time I gave up on waiting for spring... I very much dislike winter... it's super cold here this year and rainy! Which is good because the drought is over now... but so cold!

So I decided to finish up with winter and start my own spring! I started growing seeds inside for our new garden! I am growing Pompom Dahlias, delphiniums, zinnias and poppies!

Super cute little seedlings:) I do so love my seedy babies:) Grow babies! Grow! :)

Oh I'm sorry did you say fresh?

Yes. Mega fresh! Straight from the mushroom growing box! They tasted just as delicious as they looked! YUM YUM! As it was not originally my mushroom growing box I am unsure of the suppy of mushrooms that will happen... but these were so delicious that if I never get to try anymore that will be ok too:)

Nice memories:)

I remember these flowers outside Alex's windows... so pretty in the sun! I would like to grow some... what are they??

This is my type of party...

I love eating outside in the garden:) I would love to put fariy lights in a tree and have a lovely table set underneath:)

Developing a Green Thumb...

It's true. It's very strange. I have developed somewhat of a green thumb. Mum says it runs in the family... I don't know about this! I think you just want what you can't have! hehe because we are renting I can't really plant anything and the garden consists of some grasses and a fig tree and some palm type tree! And a lot of lovely decking and a shed and some gravel.

So I seem to have taken up putting stuff in pots and growing things! I have taken a few pictures because i am ridiculously excited about the lettuce, basil and coriander seeds i planted on Christmas day which are ALREADY coming out! The chives are a little slower and haven't come out....

Mixed Lettuce...
Basil...
Coriander (nerd al hates coriander!)

And my beautiful strawberries in their special hangy planter thingy... 9 plants. All still living.


I scored these baby tomato plants at the end of the year from school. The school where I teach has a farm where the kids learn about agriculture and horticulture. Someone didn't want their tomato plants so I got them!! I haven't replanted them yet.. but one is growing 3 tomatoes! YAY! They are supposed to be Roma tomatoes.


And my succulents:) My babies. These are some I have replanted in some vintage teacups!:)




And that is some of my garden!
