Changing minds with blue twine

Potager planning

Actually this was take two.
Bill had already arranged the blue twine how he thought it should be when I was out one day......big mistake.
I changed my mind.

Then a quick look on Pinterest.....

......oh yes, I love this one. Let's do that fence. 
( audible groan from Bill.)
Luckily, only a couple of the posts were in and they were fine.
Today it looks like this......




And then on to the catmint walk.
I originally dug 80 holes.
Then changed my mind.....
Let's just go with 40. The line on the left and the line on the right and leave the middle beds for a mix of plantings.


Catmint ( nepeta) grows so easily and is pretty when covered in mauve flowers. We have it throughout the rose garden. It is easy to dig up and divide so a no-cost option. Got to love that!



Seed scattering.....


( Nature has a way of producing the perfect containers for it's seeds. )
These ones went in seed raising mix.

This delightful little posy of loveliness also came  from Viv. 

It was such hard work separating clumps of James Nottle kniphofia  ( yellow poker) but I'm sure it will be worth it.
I adore this plant in flower and now there'll be twice as many.

This photo was taken in January. 

Still in Bali........
Scrumptious little thing.


Amy spent a few days with Mum last week playing a board game marathon!
Amy..."Some people put flowers on graves. Me..? I put silverbeet."
There you go Pa. Hope you love your silver beet from your garden!!!!


 We are off to celebrate Mum's birthday next weekend. She turns 87.
