The garden is coming to life at this time of year, some plants have already blossomed, some are yet to. The poppies have started to pop, and the never fail bright orange calendula are making a pretty show.
My chioggia beetroots are ready for picking, we've been enjoying them roasted. Much nicer than pickled in vinegar beetroots!
Garlic is looking good
The more seeds these calendula drop, the more we'll have in the garden
Flowering cherry blossoms are very pretty at this time of year
Crimson flowering broad beans
Sage starting to flower
Our new beds are filling up, next job is to make gravel paths between them, and out to the wood oven
Dwarf pear tree blossoming
Avocado tree full of blossom and new growth, can't wait until it produces!
Our laundry windowsill is where we raise seeds, we need to some better shelving to fit it all in there. It's been great to be able to potter in the garden these school holidays, with no time constraints, the kids have been planting seeds in the garden too, and playing outside a lot. I've made soap, and baked a lot, and sewed a bit too. We need to be home a fair bit to achieve all this, but that's ok with me.
