Kia ora,
The first irises are out, the lavenders are full of bees – the wind has died down and the little cucumber under its shelter (half a plastic bottle) looks happy.
Lettuces (mini-Cos, my favourite) are looking like I’ll get a few leaves this weekend, the spring onions are ready for stir fries or salads.
Roses are budding up all over and it’s going to be a race between Ingrid Bergman and Port Wine to see who blooms first – my money’s on Ingrid.
Sweet peas will need tying to the trellis soon so they get the idea what they have to do, the pansies, staunch and reliable, just go on doing their thing.
The succulent garden has just about every colour in the spectrum – vivid red and yellow, and the little Kaka Beak is keeping guard.
Everywhere I look, everywhere I look…
Renée
