Beset by bunnies!


The big white one is a California Giant, and his name is Baba Ganouch. He belongs to the Singhs next door, and has got out - maybe because the other one, who lives over the road, seems to have moved in! Neighbours are all talking - we've all delivered him home but he never stays. What to do with an urban bunny hangin' out?

Vege garden looking great


Raised beds certainly have it for looking charming! Even if I spill black earth out onto the white paths. The effect of the touch of colour and the veges looks like something out of a magazine.

A lot of the plants are to attract "beneficials" (desirable insects) to the garden : phacelia, feverfew, nigella, echinacia. They are flourishing madly and need to be elsewhere... The space isn't huge, and it needs to be all in use for veges -

I won't post a photo of the garden beds I have just filled up with compost - it was a huge job but they look fairly unexciting until they have more in them. Camellias and Michaelia but small, and not too much else yet. I am so impatient for this garden to feel like a real garden, but it's getting there - the vege garden does!
