Spring in the garden

Springtime on the calendar, in reality it's not a real blooming time but it's colour and some growth.

The reliable Bottlebrush that the parrots love to feast on,

the Bower of Beauty that thrives on neglect

 and the lovely Fuchsia - they seem to last only a season but I readily buy new ones each year.

Good old Gazanias, forget about them and they still keep on keeping on

The durable Kangaroo Paw, the red flowers come out first and I'm still waiting on the yellow coloured ones.

Macadamia

Mango

The 'Productive part" of the garden - only flowers at this stage but hopefully they will develop into fruit.

We need some decent rainfalls.  The garden has never really recovered from the drought periods and further damage usually followed by frosting in the Winter.

However we continue to combat the challenges that Mother Nature puts out there and we thoroughly enjoy any rewards by way of colour, fragrances or food.  Many little chores are therapeutic and watering is one of the most hotly pursued 'jobs'
