Re: Self care by growing a garden
Perhaps you could do a bit of topiary @Determined one of these in your yard in time for the festive season?

Lol @Former-Member maybe in time for next year.
Round (loosely defined) balls are about my limit at the moment.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
Had some more poorly positioned trees removed yesterday. The fellow also took away a pile of bamboo that I had cut down.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
A clump of irises have now flowered, I think they may be iris orientalis, a rhizomatous plant rather than the bulbous Dutch iris. Sorry about poor quality of photo - only have cheap phone camera.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
Bromeliads come in a lot of colours and like an under tree location @Shaz51 .
Bought a rosemary plant and a culinary sage plant today as I wanted some for use in cooking. Hopefully they will do better than the thyme which is being eaten by something.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
I love Bromeliads @Former-Member @Shaz51 I used to grow them.
It's too hot & dry here.
They're a South-American rainforest plant (Lilly).
The Pineapple plant is a Bromeliad! - I just discovered that....
