August Garden

Hallo every-one, just a few garden photos while it's sunny outside. We've had so much rain and very cool mornings so the sunshine is most welcome...dear Son painted the 2 large pieces of lattice for me yesterday, I love the way they break up the expanse of grey fencing and as we are renting I have hung them on hooks that fit over the top of the fence~no need to drill etc In Spring the frangipani trees will be in full foliage so we should get some nice shadows and a sense of depth here...


beautiful yellow freesias come up every year from bulbs and smell so lovely...


Wise Owl looks on...


Shy Seahorse and Cheeky Parrot enjoy the sun...


Lemon Aji chillies keep ripening...


the Cara Cara orange tree has much new growth...




potted vegies are thriving too...


limes are ripe in time for more Indian style chutney...


a pretty new French style planter is home to sweet peas and a ceramic bird...


Life is fairly routine these days, I visit Dad twice a week with a dinner or two and we do some shopping together. Charlie is 3 months old already and is such a delight with his bright eyes and ready smile...


The beat goes on...

bye bye for now,
Sue

  1. I do like the lattice work, think you are right about how nice it will look when the trees leaf out. I love all your little garden "critters"! They add character!!

  2. Love the seahorse and the parrot and the wall hanging. My garden is full of that sort of stuff. Daffs are brilliant and everything else so green. Bravo
