Autumn/May 2019

After quite a long absence from blogging I had to have, I am back, maybe with new vigour, may be...The garden in May looks lush. Summer 2018/19 was very dry and uninspiring.



7 AM early morning sun in the Living room; 7/may/2019  


 

The kitchengarden provides Basil to make  a tasty Pesto. I used for this one  Tasmanian walnuts instead of Pine nuts.



A highlight are always Alamanda flowers, on top A. Caramel and A. Cherry.




We do not get snow but we still get Snowflakes. Euphorpia leucocephala






A highlight every autumn  are the Tree-dahlia flowers winking from
 above high stems.

In the fruit growing season now
citrus are ripening and providing fine juices. Soursop is bearing fruit and Pinks Mammoth were really huge and delicious.



Custard apples



The earliest very large Mandarins.


Daily native visitors in the garden.
Wonga Pigeons and the smaller crested Pigeons and the ever so naughty, lively rainbow lorikeets.




Simples; recycling at its best. Kintsugi (Japanese) embraces imperfection
and minimises  waste.

...and now,
"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."
