A SOS to any green thumbs out there
I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

The eggs are beautiful @Faith-and-Hope
I had a blast from the past re Paul Kelly this week. I went to an old gallery space and found a wonderful Melbourne Music resource .. called the Vault. They had his old poster up from a concert in the Palais. Yay.
Been a bit minimal in the garden.

Got myself a bit confused I think @Former-Member ... lol .... I looked up quite a few YouTube clips of the mini-cooking and thought I had settled on a quail egg clip ..... many donuse the quail eggs, but in most of the clips they scrambled them, which loses the effect of frying a quails egg over a candle flame in a teeny-tiny pan .... 😊

I too wondered why it was scrambled, given the egg was small. 😀

Succulent nests... hmmm.....
Our town show has a miniature garden section. It would be fun to do something like that for it.
This was a herb and veggie garden in a bucket that I entered a few years ago, and came home with a prize. I think this pic must have been taken after the show was over, because no way would I have entered it with the spring onion flower flopped over like that. 🙂
