Friday flowers + lawn-a-licious


The front fence is a mass of Iceberg rose blooms. They're looking amazing at the moment. They've only been growing for 2 years so they're doing well.


Thanks to Lyndon and a dose of top-dressing, our lawn is looking really great too.
With a good dose of "weed and feed" most of the weeds have gone and it's now looking super green and lovely.


I have two standard icebergs and I have to say, they're both looking a bit freakishly good (and top heavy) at the moment too. They almost look a bit fake as they're covered in blooms. I've had to add in a support stick as the weight of it had it listing severely to one side. In all the horrible windy weather this week we almost lost one.


Lots of roses to pick and bring inside :)
Happy Friday and a great weekend to you all. What are you up to this weekend? I have to work tomorrow but hope to get to a market, a book launch and get some crafty action on too.

    So glad to see that top dressing turned out so beautifully, Sarah. We need Lyndon's assistance on Planet Baby, methinks! Fingers crossed for the book launch...J x

    Ooooh wowsers, Sarah!
    Those roses have taken a liking to your garden, haven't they?
    I remember reading about these and thinking that they would look nice in my dream garden.

    Best,

    Annelie

    I am so jealous of that lush green lawn. We have such a crappy one, on an angle, everything washes down to the bottom (which is like a big lush strip of dark green & patchy above, it's so dumb). Don't you just adore being barefoot & fancy free with the puppy?? Hugs & pats to you, love Posie

    Do you know, I was looking at our lawn this morning and thinking how dry and yellow it looks. Nothing like the lush green one you have. We are in desperate need of some rain here in Brisbane.
    Planning to have a quiet weekend, just a riverside picnic planned tomorrow, then going to listen to a friend singing in the evening, and nothing planned for Sunday - bliss.
    Hope you enjoy your weekend despite the blip of working.

    The combination of the icebergs and your lush lawn is stunning! Well done Lyndon & you! We've still got to start a new lawn on the flat bit in front of the laundry hut, but need to bring in some soil first! Nothing is going to happen on the Clay. Have a lovely if busy weekend!

    Wow, everything looks amazing. My yard is literally like a desert. We need some rain, I would love to visit and role around on your lawn, it looks so soft. Xx Katherine
