Melbourne International Garden & Flower Show

kathiemt on Apr 2nd 2007

Angie and I went to the Garden Show in Melbourne on 1st April. The day started out quite dark and overcast and it had rained overnight (thank God) but by midday we had a brilliant blue clear sky and it was getting warm.

The displays there were fantastic and it rebirthed my passion for gardening. Naturally I bought a number of items - couldn’t help myself. Got some new orchids, begonias and carnations to plant and bought Hyacinth and Dutch Irish bulbs, and Freesias as well. I love the cottage style garden we now have in our front yard and am looking forward to seeing even more splashes of colour in it in the months to come.

Vegetable Garden Display
I was also very taken with their vegetable garden display and had been planning to develop such a garden in the backyard down near our rabbits cage. Poor rabbits will end up salivating - so close and yet so far out of reach for them! We have begun and I’ll share on that in another post. KMT

Kathie’s Garden open to all!

Yes, I have the gardening bug, aside from working on the computer and spending lots of time online. Many who know me (online or in business) wouldn’t believe it, but those closest to me know it to be the truth! And I love getting comments about my flower garden in the front yard and how it’s developing. My latest project is a vegetable garden in the backyard, my daughter Christine and I have been working on it together and I’ll share with you our progress. All comments on gardening, and suggestions on how to solve any problems are welcomed. I’m hoping too, that in the not-too-distant future I might be able to have guests post gardening articles here as well. KMT
