Cut-out trees

I love the way trees are cutaway from powerlines. There's something cool about it's un-naturalness. Does that even make sense? I'm a bit tired.

>> Also, I've jumped on the Twitter train and it's full steam ahead! Follow me here if you like.

Coriandrum sativum

My gardening skills are fairly limited, but I now have a lemon tree, rosemary bush, pink impatiens and coriander (I can only take credit for the last two really). Very proud.

I was a kaleidoscope

It's been a nature (& fun) filled weekend... but it's not over yet ;)

Pretty in pink

Spring makes me feel like change, so I'm dumping the "a" from my post titles, amongst other things. These babies are growing really well... from seedlings, to buds, and now full bloom!

A closer look

This isn't really about gardening but it's in my garden so I figure near enough is good enough (see post label). I was torn between my new ladybug friend, and a furry caterpillar, hence I did some fancy photoshopping and ta-daaah - a split photo!

>> As if "photoshopping" isn't a real word. The spell checker and I seem to disagree.

A day in the sun

I'm trying to post something every day for Blogtoberfest, but actually not spending as much time on the computer this week - it's just too sunny and warm!

A first for me

It's been almost a month since I planted these on my windowsill, and today I came home to find one of the buds has started opening! Having never been a gardener until now, I was a little anxious that they wouldn't grow... I think I've found my green thumb.

A cherry blossom

My cherry blossom tree has been looking bare for months, now suddenly it's come full bloom! All this sunshine isn't helping me stay indoors for tea and craftiness, but it's super pretty so I don't mind...

A spot of gardening

Today I walked up to the local nursery and bought impatiens (and potting mix) for my windowsill buckets, which have been filled with ugly dirt for months. I also picked up some coriander seedlings as the beginning of a herb garden. If it all goes well, I intend to do lots more planting & gardening soon!

A waiting game

I'm so ready for Spring - it starts tomorrow! As you might have guessed, this photo is at least a year old.
