Here’s the garlic and winter blooms

The japanese anemones or windflowers
have flowered this year from March to August. Their self-seeding habit doesn’t bother me as they happily fill a gap with their gentle and elegant flowers. They were badly burnt back in January with our blazing 40+ degree days but they have found their way now adding a little winter colour. Mainly white and the palest of pink grace the garden here at the Barn.

Two years ago I excitedly planted garlic from the Diggers club and promptly lost it amongst a bed of ixia and sparaxis.  I have planted the garlic mainly out on its own this year and look forward to harvesting Diggers’ 
‘melbourne market’, ‘cream’ and ‘dynamite’ bulbs.

​We put in a 14,000 L water tank in November 2013 and promptly cut up our old little tank into veggie planters which are working wonderfully to keep the possums/rats and even slugs and snails at bey.



​Gorgeous white edna walling hardenbergia is climbing through an old rose in front of the house. A glorious winter bloomer.
