Our garden in pictures

A few pictures from our own little plot of turf. While some of the colourful products of our garden had us to thank for their robust vibrance, many are entirely free of our intervention, helpful or otherwise.

First up, a few cherries. Delicious they were, as the birds I'm sure would agree.


This rose had Maria to thank for its survival and ravishing health.


Growing wild ...


... as are these.


An onion blossom.


A couple of onion blossoms getting to know each other a little better.


Corn flowers a long way from the corn.


Four existing hibiscus bushes decided to burst forth this summer after taking a year off. No thanks to us either.


This yellow broom has likely seen its last season as a wood stack is destined to take its place.


Another wild guest.


And another Maria rose.


Flowers from our flourishing potato plants.


More cherries ... and an apple.


Talking of apples ...


And finally, another wild, unaided member of our colourful throng.

Our compliments to the cultivator/cultivatrix and certainly the photographer! Duncan--this could be marketed as a calendar as is! Bravo! Cheers, Gavin, Tomi and Uly

Duncan,
We received a call a while back from Claudia of which the phone number upon trying to retrieve it was consumed by our answering machine. Would love to "catch-up". Email your phone number so that we can call.
Love to Claudia and Julius.

Incidentally, these pictures are beautiful.
