The garden over the weekend...

I felt inspired to get out into my herb garden yesterday (before the rain came). It's looking really good, and fillling out nicely now, so minimal weeding is required. The borage, calendula and yarrow that seeded over late summer have really filled in a lot of the gaps. The bright colour from the calendulas, violets, feverfew, borage and rainbow chard continue to brighten things up.

I took these photos this morning - it's started off as a sparkling, shining one with a gorgeous blue sky!

I also gave the chicken coop a much needed clean out. We've had a LOT of rain, and things have gotten really soggy and gross in there. So, once all that poopy-straw  (with masses of lovely wormies in it) was shovelled out and added to the winter garden beds (with blue lupin in them), Simon went down and laid down some fresh straw.

 The far bed on the right of the path has the garlic, the middle is where my vege seedlings are going, and the front bed has some onions. The beds on the left have the blue lupin.

The wild strawberries I was given a few weeks ago and coming along well. In fact, all my strawberry plants are looking fantastic and filled with flowers and growing fruit.

My hanging basket in my front porch has some lovely bright colour draping over the sides now. Love the vibrant colours of the lobelia and the pansies together.
