Still very much a work in progress… Some days I’m slowly cutting back useful herbs and trees to process later, other days I’m just pulling grass and other unwanted plants and filling up my wheelbarrow. But I’m getting there. And, more important, I’m enjoying every minute I spend out there.
Working in the garden has always (even in our small garden in the Netherlands) been a way for me to ground, to reconnect with myself. I know that sounds woo-woo, but it’s true.
Anyway, it’s quite rainy these days, and a bit cooler than usual, so everything is growing really fast and blooming like crazy. So beautiful!







(Do you want names with the plants? I always wonder if people prefer that or not. I do want to mention that the orange flowers are from a shrub called tuturutu. Got to love that name.)
your garden is coming along so nicely. I love to watch a change slowly over the years to a garden!

That is one of the things I love too, both in my own garden and in those of others. It’s also the main reason I started doing these posts. I think it will be fun to look back in a few years.

You have things growing and blooming, and over here we have things bare and dying off for winter. The vastness of our ol’ world always amazes me. =)
As someone who is not a gardener, I don’t mind if you don’t include names. ‘Tuturutu’ sure is a fun one though!

Yeas, it’s amazing how many differences there are on this little globe. Still, most of the internet is talking about fall and winter these days… I’m always happy to find Australians 😉
I’ll make sure to at least include the interesting names.

Yes, my garden is more and more growing to be what I hoped it to be. I want it to be a “sanctuary” (for lack of a less pretentious word) where I can go for some peace and calm when I need it.

Thank you! I had my doubts about sharing because it is so different, but it’s really fun to take pictures and share the beauty.
