Love the colour of these day Lillie's that squeeze through the rosemary and lavender in my front garden. plenty of blooms in their second season too. 💜

Yellow kangaroo paw plants

#KangarooPaws
Long term plan is for a drift of different heights & colours. While the flowers are dying off on the Paws already planted, (and looking a little straggly... okay half dead tbh), underneath the roots are strong.

My next goal for this area is to hide the mission brown fence behind it. It's slowly disappearing. Gardening is a lesson in patience. One lesson after the other. Be patient. The plants will grow.

Tree fern protecting shade garden below from sun and heat.

#GardenSentinels
We survived the heat though the tree ferns look a little singed. We've been preparing for summer all year long. Such a pleasure to look at the micro climate they guard. Our sentinels.

Shade loving garden beneath tree fern canopy

Heading into the garden to tidy up after heavy rain last week and prepare for the blistering heat forecast for this weekend. My tree ferns need extra love to get them through summer. They are the protectors of the garden beds below.

I also paint. Well... I have one canvas to my name and an ever growing collection of brushes, paints and canvases waiting for me.👩‍🎨

I write. I garden. I don't write about gardening. Yet.

Naturally, I can't think of a thing to say...

I'm at that early stage of Bluesky membership that with no followers I can say whatever I like. The pressure of it all!
