So Long Since a Post Here.

A big hello to everyone where ever that may be.

It has been sometime since anyone posted here and after taking a small tour of the posts in this group, I could not help but notice how beautiful the posts have been.

Maybe it is autumn where you are and the leaves have turned into those magnificent colours nature adorns our foliage with before the winter comes and blows hard covering some of your gardens in a blanket of snow.

Here on the other hand it is spring and although it is a very mild spring this year with good rains and usually quite over cast conditions the garden has loved every drop of this welcome rain.

I went to the garden store yesterday and bought some fill up plants such as the ground cover snow in summer, a peppermint scented geranium, some beautiful blue lobelia planted beneath fragrant blue salvia and an old fashioned red Kalenchloe.

So today as it is over cast I will do some planting and hopefully these grey clouds over head will sprinkle the earth and help the new additions.

I also purchased a pink Hippeastrum in flower and have decided to leave it in the pot for now as it has one flower and two more buds to come out later. With Giant flowers these are such a glorious bulb plant and not overly fussy to grow.

I hope that you will share your gardens and photos with us here and of course videos as I said previously this group has posted some truly wonderful posts in the past and I for one would love to see more friends and input into our little Garden Gurus Group.

Peas and Peace to All.

  1. I would enjoy sharing more photos but at this moment nothing will upload for me. Another time it will have to be.

  3. Sue are you a member? Please join us if you are not. This is a group where you can post anything about gardens and the out doors. Winter is special for you there too and so much different to us here. The flower is the Hippeastrum I mentioned in the post. Click to enlarge the photo, it was the only one I could successfully upload today.

  5. I havn't been here very much either in the past year or so. I just had an idea, I would like to see the sort of insets people have in their gardens all over the world. A butterfly is always nice, but some creepy crawlies would also be interesting. Must see what I have to start it off somewhere.
