Green thumb

It feels so great to spend time in the yard preparing for Spring. The yard here has always had greenery, rich soil and established trees. 

I am loving adding to the garden and doing it more and more justice each day. The roses in my previous garden brought so much joy, especially as cut flowers for family and friends. So I have planted a row of standards along the driveway here - a hybrid tea called 'Heaven Scent' which is an orchid pink color and known for its beautiful fragrance. They have already started shooting - Spring is on its way :)

We also found a new home under the jacaranda for a huge pile of agapanthus (courtesy of Nikki and Tony and their renovations - thank you!) Can't wait for their purple flowers to pop up, especially when the jacaranda is also in flower. 

The new kitchen is well underway. Next post will be a kitchen one..


It's going to be a great year..
