It has been 2 months since I did a garden rounds post. Cold weather does me in and I don't spend as much time gardening. Consequently it gets overgrown and the first few weeks are clearing and weeding and pruning.
The weather has been so warm lately, I am beginning my planting and clearing about a month or so earlier than usual. Today I gingerly raked up the heaps of leaves on the front garden paths. Just in piles. I haven't lifted them into the barrow yet #SoreBack
๐ฟ I picked the first broad beans today - quite a handful, so they will make a nice addition to dinner, with a few of the tip leaves as well.
๐ต๏ธ The camellia is covered in flowers
๐ฎ The borage has gone beresk already - so early! The bright blue flowers are everywhere. And so gorgeous.
๐ท Nasturtiums are everywhere too, with their bright gold and red flowers! They have climbed into the cumquat tree and are all over the paved area around the garden shed. Also encroaching paths in other areas.
๐ There are a few bees about, but I will check earlier in the day next time.
๐ณ I am soaking the roots of the heritage fruit trees delivered this week, for 24 or so hours, and have planned where to put them. The weather is so warm and the plants are shooting, so I will put them straight into their spots. Fingers crossed my back will be healed enough to dig some holes.
๐ณ The quince tree is shooting new leaves.

The excitement continues - the first chilli continues to grow, there are at now at least 10 chillies on the flourishing plant, and both the smaller plants produced a flower-thingy today.

#AcaciaSuaveolens (sweet #wattle) is a shrub species endemic to Australia.
Found particularly, the south eastern parts.
I love these pale yellow blooms.

Before and Afterโฆ
The first photo was snapped a month ago.
The second pic was taken prior to sunset the other night. This tree has just commenced blooming.
I plan on keeping an eye on this one and update you with its blooming evolution.
What a beautiful transformationโฆ a gorgeous work in progress.

#garlic2023 is doing pretty well. It's been a very warm winter but I don't think it will have been warm enough to prevent bulb division into cloves, as can happen with garilc grown out of season eg planted in spring. 'Summer garlic' can produce bulbs similar to onions or shallots. #gardeningAu

I took the first picture one month ago, ahead of this beauty blooming.
The remainder are pictures from now, late afternoon today!
I find it astounding how such flowering bloom can and does, grow in such a short time and with so much beauty and grace.
This is a #peach. For years I believed it to be cherry. So today, I learned something new about this gorgeous specimen!
(Iโve always noticed this tree but never had the opportunity to check for fruit, nor verified itโs identity). Time to remedy that, this year!!
I love this tree. #stunning.

Queer Like The Slur · @coolandnormal
214 followers · 1809 posts · Server aus.socialAnyone have any bright ideas for #daffodil bulbs? I've been asked to remove a lot of them from a paddock that used to be the owner's nanna's garden.
I have about 100 bulbs of about five varieties.
I'm doing a long border along a fence. Some more creative suggestions would be appreciated.
I can also pick up an almost unlimited amount of simple cream and pale yellow #jonquils for large landscaping projects as they're a common forest weed in the local area.

Lovely tall, mature #Gumtreeโs (their trunks and gorgeous patterning feature in this post) grow proud here in a public reserve here in #oakleighsouth #Australia.
Thereโs no doubting where the inspiration from army fatigues came from. Mother Nature herself!!

Check out this #Freesia. Have only spotted a couple and managed to stop to snap this one during my working day.
They are native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa.
They have fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, and these were sweet with a perfumed aroma.
They come in many colours of the rainbow, including a variety of shades (mixes).

A huge #Acacia aka #wattle pre sunrise this morning.
How glorious is that full bloom? A sea of yellow, wow!
Cold last night, car was iced, a low of 1c (34F) but these, like many here in Melbs are hardy and resilient to frost.

This bicoloured #daffodil is beautiful.
Simple, sweet and cheery.
Early blooming, as with many flora of late here in Melbs, but only a couple more weeks until #spring propperโฆ and more of same. I am sure of it!

#LeptospermumScoparium, commonly called mฤnuka, (Mฤori) is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, native to New Zealand and south-east Australia.
Its nectar produces Mฤnuka honey.

Isnโt this bloom just delicious?
Well, hopefully they signal delish fruit to comeโฆ as my ID app tells me this is #peach (Prunus persica).
It is a deciduous tree, apparently first domesticated in Zhejiang province of Eastern China.
It will (hopefully!) produce edible juicy peaches (the glossy-skinned, non-fuzzy varieties)โฆ the birds are going to have a ball with this one, when the time comes!

This is why we use humane rat traps in the garden. Everybody likes peanut butter and you don't always trap rats. Blue fairy wren released quickly and unharmed. #gardeningAu

#Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa.
In South Africa, it is commonly known as the #CraneFlower.
The gorgeous โflowersโ are so colourful and cheery. A welcomed sight, during late #winter here in Melbs!

A lush bush of what I think is a spreading #phlox displaying nicely in #Mckinnon, #Australia this cool and crisp morning (circa 10 degrees Celsius).
Not sure Iโve seen these before in all honesty.
Just lovely!
#PhloxDiffusa (per ush, happy to being corrected!!)
