Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

We've been busy in our garden here. Such a blessing to have it. 8 raised beds all a couple of metres square. Currently eating plenty of home-grown lettuce, chinese greens, basil, sage, thyme, rocket, mint, chives plus our huge passionfruit burst into blossom yesterday - more flowers than ever before so fingers crossed a big crop coming. And lots of avo's on our huge old avo tree (which my cabin is under) plus a lot of green cherry tom's ready to ripen, pommegranate and guava coming on. Cumquats, limes and lilypillies blooming and setting fruit too. Lemon myrtle and lemon verbena, tarragon and rosemary. Yesterday bro and sil spent half the day over there and blitzed it. Planted a whole lot more basil, warrigal greens, blueberries as well as digging heaps of compost and chook poo into the soil. And my exercise bike is over there so it's a lovely view while on it.
Haven't yet worked out how to get photos from my phone onto here but will try something in a mo'.
Have a bloomin' lovely day everyone xx

WOW @eth
Well prepped!
I have a tiny space and only a few greens and herbs, but just came from my community garden in the court. This last jasmine has taken. I have to persist. It is still looking great after my trimming and tidying, but there was a zero can .... I also call it my grief garden as I finally realised I had a plant to represent my sister, and planted a few. Now all of my departed family is symbolically part of that garden.
