I love our garden. I find gardening to be a relaxing and peaceful activity. When I get the time to do it properly, keeping our garden with its vege and herb patch, fruit trees, and flowers brings plenty of rewards and satisfaction. Henry and Milly enjoy it to. It gives them a big space to run around in, climb trees, and help find all sorts of home grown treats ready for picking and eating.
Lots of yummy things grow in this patch: strawberries, mint, coriander, a bay tree, parsley, cos lettuce, chamomile, and aloe vera.
Sweet and juicy strawberries. We also have a lemon tree and a lime tree.
Roma tomatoes not yet ripe on the vine. Nothing beats the flavour of a home grown tomato.
Rhubarb. We last poached some in orange juice, sugar and grated ginger. Also growing in our vege patch: zucchini, lettuce, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, tarragon, lavender, marigolds.
Some little cos lettuce seedlings. I find it hard to grow things from seed as the birds always eat the little seedlings, no matter how much I try to protect them.
This is the view from our kitchen window. This bougainvillea is a waterfall of colour. It is just so huge (three stories high) and I love looking at this wall of purple everyday.
