The icebergs out the front are still lovely, as is the stunning blue salvia. I'm hoping that both will keep going for a while yet.
I discovered a number of flower spikes on my orchids so they'll be lovely to bring inside soon.
My little blue ageratum are doing quite well and I planted blue anemones and orange ranunculus around them the other day.
I finally planted up all my herbs into a few nice blue pots for the sunny spot out the front. I think they might like a feed along with the rest of the yard.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't daunted by the amount of spring bulbs I have yet to plant. I managed to get in a few hundred blue ixias but still have a few hundred ranunculus, daffodills, irises, anemones, grape hyacinths and freesias to go!
I hope the hard work is worth it!
Looks like being a busy Easter in the garden :-)
Everything is looking so nice and fresh....I could only dream about my garden looking like yours :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I love roses. Unfortunately our house is built on a rock (there's virtually no soil at all). Oh well, will have to keep plugging away.
ReplyDeleteThat bulb burying will be completely worth it Sarah. And I'm so jealous of your orchid spikes...I have four plants but so far only one spike...I think it's because I've moved them and they did suffer from frost last year...in a safer spot now! Enjoy the gardening...good idea...might join you.
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah! You have a lot of planting to do! Your garden is looking fantastic already I can't wait to see it when all of the bulbs are in bloom! xx
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking fabulous - love the colours you've chosen. I'm still waiting on my ranunculus to arrive from Diggers and will buy my sweet peas tomorrow so hopefully I'll get them all in this weekend! The herbs look wonderful in those gorgeous blue pots - practical and beautiful. Leigh
ReplyDeletehi Sarah, to answer you - India F. is part of the Slow Cloth movement, she writes for them and of course her work is of that genre.
ReplyDeleteYou will certainly be busy this Easter with all those bulbs to plant. Maybe Molly can dig the holes for you? Your garden is looking lovely, and thanks for your thoughtful comment on mine. cheers, don't eat too much chockie but make sure it is dark and none for Molly. K.
What a busy weekend you will have but the results are going to be worth all the hard work!! I love your roses -your garden is looking gorgeous & I cannot wait to see all the bulbs flowering! Ax
ReplyDeletea beautiful look...
ReplyDeleteWOW! Now I'm embarassed of my sad attempt at planting last week. Everything looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the picture of Molly up top is the cutest thing ever!
Sounds like a lovely way to spend Easter, love the blue pots and you have quite a gorgeous selection of flowers! Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteLook at those divine roses! It seems you have a green thumb. Your garden looks lovely.
ReplyDeletecan you please come work in my yard? :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, love the new header - Molyl looks so cute in that shot :) Your garden is looking fantastic - your iceberg roses look stunning along that fence. Your herb pots look like decent sized ones, my ones are much smaller so I might go and get some bigger ones I think. Love the ageratum, are they good as a border plant? Can't wait to see all your bulbs out in bloom - they are going to be amazing by the sounds of it with all those hundreds of bulbs you're planting!! Thanks for your ideas about my lounge room artwork the other day x
ReplyDeleteThose roses look gorgeous Sarah. You're obviously a much better gardener than I am, it took one of my orchids 8 years to flower! We live on a couple of acres, and my efforts so far have amounted to heaps of agapanthus, two jacarandas and lots of frangipanis. You certainly put me to shame! xx
ReplyDeleteYou're a wonderful gardener, Sarah. I love your roses!! I cant' waint to see all the bulbs in bloom!!!! Have a nice Easter!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Mara.
oh, how this makes me wish i had a yard to garden in! for now, i have to settle for a small apartment balcony with pots and containers.
