a walk around the winter garden....

 Seedlings are starting to speed up their growth, to my delight as I don't like seeing bare patches of earth and then tend to overplant!


 Corriander - never eaten so much of it!

 Beetroots i did thin out but they are looking a bit overcrowded already
 lots of lovely fresh tasty green leaves for salads

 spring bulbs splashing their vibrant colours around the garden


 If I had to pick one flower to have in the garden it would have to be the xmas rose







 blueberries waiting to be planted out












 front garden farm!
 Oranges galore!!!
miniature daffs!!

Well its been a longtime since we last visited

 A weekend spent in Healesville a visit to the animal sanctury was wonderful last time we visited G was only a few weeks old and big G about 4!!
 Will get me one of these in a few decades and wear it as proudly as this Manna gum tree....

 feeding the parrots

 they were good mates until the bird pecked his ear!






 a really friendly parrot
 mmm could have been a worse name i suppose!









 Roo = behind you!
