I woke yesterday morning to a glorious day and the sound of the dill screaming.
The herbs, patiently nurtured along in their pots in the greenhouse, wanted to go into their herb garden.
So yesterday was spent planting. It is a fantastic feeling, sinking all these seedlings into the ground or their permanent pots. Suddenly spring is reallyhere. I planted out the dill, the marjoram and the oregano. I planted out the ruby silverbeet and put all the asters into their big display pots. Red empress nasturtium went into the herb garden and lime geranium into a spot in the big bed which will soon house all the potted artichokes.
The elderberry is about to flower, so I am readying my wine-making equipment.
Today – the tomatoes? Traditionally tomatoes are planted on the fourth Thursday in October in Hobart, but I wonder if I can risk them a bit early. The forecast for the next week looks good ….
Meanwhile, in the rest of the garden …..
The greenhouse with all its baby charges.
The clematis on the veranda is beginning to flower.
While the chocolate vine in the woodland has made a bid to take over the walnut.
The jasmine is out and I can smell it all through the eastern garden.
A closeup of one of the tiny flowers of the chocolate vine.
Overall the garden is in good shape and I am happy.
That’s absolutely beautiful Sara!!
And I started shopping for cold winter vegetables this weekend at the plant nurserys in the United States.
Looking marvellous..
That all looks beautiful! My jasmine has been and gone, but it was gorgeous while it lasted. I love perfumed plants.

Your garden is looking FABULOUS ..hmmm chocolate vine eh??
Yes, I also wanted to comment on the photography madskillz 🙂
Looking lovely!
Wow! Those photos are amazing! What camera do you use? That chocolate vine close up is glorious. I just got up and was planning on heading into the garden today but the wind is going to cause some more problems I think.
Looking absolutely gorgeous… I would be thrilled if I could have a garden like that. Unfortunately, between brillant teamwork with the dog and my watering skills, I’m not so good with gardening. But I do like the thought of a beautiful garden. Therefore pretty pictures from gardening magazines (other people’s hardwork)and me dreaming is as far as I’m going to get for now. I’m impressed.
Hi Sara. Mimi here from Simple Savings. Just popping in to say hi as I hadn’t seen you around. I hope you are holding your own health wise. The garden is gorgeous. Just wanted you to know I think of you often. Mims
Hi Sara
I love your Donation camellia … it speaks of free beauty, unlike some other camellias that speak of constraint in their perfection. And it has a visitor 🙂
