The Weekly Friday Feast

Is that in your garden, @Shaz51? I can't quite see which side of the fence it's on. What is it? It's magnificent. Are you a garden lover?

a Bankok Rose @Historylover and yes it is in the front yard

My mum has a green thumb and loves gardening

but i like shrubs and easy growing plants

how about you ?

@lala2 are you ok xxx

I know what you mean. If my life eventually works out, I will say in all honesty, that I wouldn't have missed these past, horrific sometimes, blissful other, decades for the world. I needed them, and so did everyone else. I wouldn't be me if I hadn't been through this nightmare. xx (I do want it to end though, pleasantly).

I do want it to end though, pleasantly).yes it would be nice now that nothing happens for a little while ayy @Historylover xxxx

I've never seen anything like it, @Shaz51. Absolutely magnificent. It was your mother's home that had that lovely front fence, too, and the prolific lemon grass, wasn't it? She must have a beautifully character-laden home. Yes, I do love gardening and landscaping. If I ever get a home of my own again, I will probably design a very different style to any I've done before. I only have a few pots here.

Hope you do too @Historylover

What plants have you got now

@Shaz51

sorry for the late reply, I got sidetracked learning about SANE from this website. I dont really have much of a garden I have some bathtubs with herbs etc. I have a large property though so its like a very big garden. Sometimes we have very beautiful wildflowers.

Very few, @Shaz51. The calibrachoa? I planted recently look lovely flowing over the edge of a large pot. They are like a small petunia, and flower prolifically. There's also some snapdragons in the same pot, the source of which is still unknown. I planted some penstemon recently that are just beginning to flower. (I just checked the label for the name). I have my disbud chrysanthemum that I bought myself when they were on sale for Mother's Day. It's growing on. I don't know how to get those enormous blooms, but I guess the name might have something to do with it. Disbud, as in remove all but the central bud. Anyway, it's all experimental and is just an interest that makes me feel a little bit of a homemaker. I'll see what happens there in the run up to May which is just around the corner, again. I also have a few geraniums for their colour and a lemon tree my neighbour gave me for xmas. It's just a nice way to approach my front door. And pots of vegetables that just won't grow.

Lovely @lala2

I tried growing herbs but they got very wet feet

I can grow lemongrass

@Shaz51 As in the lemongrass you cook with? Mine pretty much look after themselves at the moment. I go out and crush some grasshoppers occassionally, they love my spinach more than I do. I have a Jade plant that was a gift and is pretty hardy. Ive recently bought a beautiful small flowering shrub, cant think of the name but it has a tiny leaf, variegated green colour and dainty little white flowers. Weve recently had a lot of rain so everything is pretty lush right now.
