And the day is not yet done!
Attended the launch of the Open Midlands garden this morning held at Blackwood's PMB, before setting off to see the indigenous plants doing extremely well, despite the lack of rain in gardens both on PMB and Kloof

It took time to get the basics right, but well worth it in the end. Last winter, these raised beds saw their first few flowers bloom. This winter, these beds have been alive with flowers,insects and birds, with the prize specimens taking centre stage opposite the windows, allowing for ideal viewing conditions, particularly of the shyer birds.
Osteospermum are in the nursery right now! How's this perfect combination 🌱
Add some pretty colour to your daily plates.

At last month's garden coaching session I spoke about el Nino and mentioned the impact of xeriscaping. Come learn with us, as we look at ways to work with nature and have a thriving garden, plus you'll get to chat with Marcel of The Tree Manager and see a chipper in action.
Getting the colours right. It takes a trained eye to see the difference.

Let's chat 💚
I've had a number of folk contact me thinking that my food cage was decimated by the rats. Nope,worse! It was a client's garden. ðŸ˜.
We'll wait until the rat population has been dealt with before replacing the plants.
In the meantime, here's my cage. All organic, a bit of sharing 🦗 and producing enough food to share with friends.

Gone in a flash!
Planted out more than 300 veggie seedlings on Friday, and in 2 evenings, most of the seedlings have been chomped.
No sign of worms of any size or description, no slimy path of snail or slug. Could this be rats?
