Our Garden

Maryann and I have been working hard on our garden, and have finally finished our raised garden bed. The last plants went in today, so we thought we'd share it with you. We have tried to make it as waterwise as we can, mixing succulents with some hardy annuals. Maryann loves roses, so we have a couple of creeping miniature roses in the bed. Snapdragons remind me of my parents old garden in back in England Here are a couple of close-ups. A rose. Lobelia Snapdragon

    Nice selection of plants, have you thought of some of the smaller growing grevilleas for honeyeaters?

    Or some small bottlebrushes, like little John. Pretty and interesting planting. In time the succulents will fill out, annuals will seed, perennials can be renewed from cuttings. The pink roses are lovely too. A good choice of plants.

    Hi Arija and Titania, Yes, we looked at Grevillea, but some friends had problems growing them on the soil here - they went very yellow. Yes, we have a small bottlebrush. Thanks for regularly commenting, your feedback is really appreciated.
