When we bought this house, it was the garden that sold me...and my young girl dreams of having a beautiful garden...especially one where there was a back and a front and you could run right around, were suddenly in reach...
The truth is, I have almost no time for gardening at the moment. Well actually, I could probably find time to garden, but as I have no idea what I'm doing I'd like to do a bit of learning first...and I have no time combined with sufficient brainpower to learn about gardening at the moment. I leave that to my hubby and he has bought books and sat online selecting the right plants to fill in some gaps in our garden. Added bonus is that he seems to enjoy it.
Here are the kids helping out with the planting.
Can you see who M takes after now? If I posted a photo of my mother in law it would be even clearer.
Here are some random early blooms in our garden. Some of them unidentified...must look up that pretty little orange and red one.
And here is happiness...washing on the line, three kids in the giant playpen (urm I mean trampoline).
Bring on spring! Can't wait to spend more of my days in the garden!

I have no idea what your flowers are but they are very pretty :) and you have a lovely yard :) . I cannot wait for the day when I can send my 3 out to their 'cage' lol.
We used to call the yellow and red ones 'soldiers' when I was a kid... tho doubt that is even close to their real name!
Another one who is looking forward to spring and the use of the giant play pen!
Ah yes, I know what you mean... Walked to and from kinder pick up today and had a taste of fresh weather. All I could think about was SPRING... and then it got chilleh! I can recognize a camellia and an azalea in your flower pics. What's the tree? I would love to plant an avocado... Mmmm!
Oh that tree is a type of magnolia, we got a couple...not sure what the other ones we got were...will have to ask the expert lol.
