August is the last month of winter and it's definitely noticeable - you can smell it in the air & feel it in ya bones!
I was so overwhelmed with the joy of Spring being just around the corner that I came home yesterday via the nursery, with a boot load of seedlings -
some veg and some not.
Within an hour of our return, all were snuggled deep in their respective holes, soaking up some seriously good compost.

This morning on waking, it was evident there had been a shower during the night and I think because of the lousy weather lately, where we've not seen the sun for days on end and low Vit. D levels I was totally overcome with the sense of well-being & felt compelled to take photos of
our sparkly fresh very green garden, to share...

This is taken from the opposite side of the vege garden - I'm looking forward to sharing a progress shot in a few weeks when it's looking all lush and productive...
The rush of Vitamin D has totally gone to my head coz I'm even formulating a garden renovation...
see that bareish patch to the right, well nothing grows there and all its used as is a launching pad for the dog when someone throws the ball for her so I'm thinking of digging it up going to dig it up and plant some ground cover/bushy natives...much more attractive as all the jetsam leaning up against the fence wont be so noticeable, besides it's a grand excuse to create another room in the garden.
A more longer term strategy is to annihilate the onion weed that is currently impersonating our lawn.








Mmmm, spring. I can feel it in the air here, too. I love the pictures of your garden, what a lovely spot.
