~ garden mood board may/june 2013 ~













It feels like winter is still creeping up on us this year.
It's still sunny and warm (ish) and so dry.
Our garden is neglected - too many other fun things to do on clear, sunny days.
 
The leaves have almost all fallen - they carpet the lawn - they invite scrunching and swishing and tossing.
There are a few herbs, scattered flowers.

It's hibernation time, time to pause, to wait and watch.

How does your garden grow?
I share a mood board each month with Karin and others
Do join in.

~ garden mood board Mar/April 2013 ~






 










The conifers line our back fence and protect us from nosy neighbours.
I barely notice them and yet today they seemed to call to me as the perfect background for the few blooms we still have.    Our indian summer has really dried out the garden and we have lost quite a few plants. 

The leaves haven't really started to change here  - yet in other areas of Hobart I can already wade knee deep through swathes of crispy leaves.  All of a sudden there's a chill in the air though (we lit our first fire last night) and already bulbs are starting to poke their way through.

Looking forward to seeing what's growing in other people's gardens here.
