About Me
I started this blog in 2008 to record how my garden developed, it quickly became a gardening journal and I have loved it every since. I am passionate about horticultre despite working in higher education administration. However now, 2013, I want to re-engage with my early hobbies of sewing, knitting and crochet so this blog will start to have a wider range of entries that aren't all garden related.
I love reading your comments and I do hope you enjoy the blog.

Oh oh, it just looks wonderfull!
Looks more Barcelona than Malverns? Lovely!
Hi Rose – yes Barcelona not Malvern!!
What a stunning display!
A lovely naturalistic planting, beautiful. Christina
That’s interesting. I hadn’t expected it to look like wild garlic. Thought it would look more stately – but maybe I’m muddling it with something else.
This is a lovely scene you’ve created. I have long admired Agapanthus since seeing it grow in San Francisco. Although the local nursery carries it occasionally, the horticulturalist there warned me against it, saying it never does well in this area of eastern US.
So beautiful this field of Agapanthus. I can imagine you have missed this beautiful vieuw when you were in Barcelona. Sorry when I make mistakes in my english but it’s more then 35 years ago since I have learned your languege at school.
Have a nice evening

I love this plant, and the varieties from the little tiny ones to the enormous.
Yvonne – NZ – Unfortuntely agapanthus has become a week in parts of Auckland – especially the bush around west Auckland – huge undeveloped parklands of NZ bush, high hills and rugged coastline, lakes and water catchments. I still love it and have it holding a volcanic rock bank. The small/miniature one is planted extensively as a modern plant and doesn’t seem to be such a ‘weed’. Lovely photo!
a wonderful plant I wish I could grow…it looks so easy and natural
Beautiful!
Not a lot else to say but I had to say it!
