I love the pretty flowers of Spring. These are from my garden and the Poppy
specifically flowered from the seed bombs that I wrote about here
Happy day!

Green gardening
A visit to one of our local nurseries inspired me to think about pots and vessels I use for seedlings and ways of sowing my spring flowering seeds. (Okay, we've got a long way to go before Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere but any time is a good time to start planning, no?)
Here are some pictures from the garden centre, where they up-cycled newspapers into plant "pots".
This is such a brilliant idea - I have plenty old phone directories which I'm putting to good use in this way now. The best of all is that you can probably put the whole thing as-is in the ground, since the paper will de-compose eventually and provide some food for your plant.
Some other brilliant ideas on the Guerilla Gardening website on how to prepare seed bombs; a fun way to beautify your garden and neighbourhood. I will wait until just before the end of winter and then let Cheetah and his buddies "let rip" with their bombs for our spring and summer garden. The possibilities are endless and I'm quite excited to see how it will eventually turn out....

Hope you enjoy these!

Spring flowers
Although it's autumn here, I'm getting ready for a bounty of colour in my spring garden.
I saw this genius idea for re-cycling eggs boxes into seed trays, and decided to give it a try.
With a variety of at least twelve different spring flowering seeds, I'm hoping to have a bit of luck...
All wrapped up for a mini green house....
Recorded the date of first sowing....
...and.....success with the first lot.
I will sow a second batch this weekend and again in two weeks to ensure an extended period of beautiful flowers in spring and throughout summer.
