green







I am coming to realise how much I love this little green space of mine. Each plant is so perfect, so beautiful and uniquely created. From the Aloe to the freshly potted Tomato's, the Yucca to the pesky (yet pretty) Clover, the Lillypilli's and the butter containers full of Jacaranda seedlings (thanks Pa!). The Mother-in-law's tongue is a favorite of mine, so tall, strong and beautifully patterned. It grows perfectly with the Aloe Vera in an undercover area we have out the back. Most of our plants are in pots as we have a tiny yard. I have Nasturtiums, Strawberry plants, Lettuce's, Sunflower's and mixed wildflowers in the seedling trays. There are a few barely surviving herbs, so we might replace those next. What grows in your garden?

I've got 4 different kinds of strawberries, 4 different kinds of tomatoes, bush cucumbers, cherry capsicums, baby peppers, beetroot, snow peas, honey snap peas and coriander, all in pots. If nothing else grows I want some tomatoes and a few strawberries, that would suit me :)

sounds great Rachel! I agree about the strawberries and tomatoes.
I would like to grow some beans as well but I am fast running out of pots!

I have just a balcony, but I also have a lot of green and flowers (not now). A question: how do you call the nice plant in the 5. picture? I had it when I was living in Germany. Here in Italy it is hard to find.
Thank you
