For those of you who don't know me, one of my passions is gardening. I love my gardens and I love to cut flowers and have them inside. When we bought this property there was nothing here, just a house in the middle of a paddock. I am trying to start from nothing to build up an enclosed garden. It will have all my vege plants, my fruit trees and my flower gardens all together in one spot.Today I planted 3 climbing roses out in my 'secret garden'! The top one is Madame Alfred Carriere, an old fashioned climber with a strong fragrance, mmmm. The middle one is Veilchenblau, and it too is an old fashioned climber with a strong fragrance. The red rose above is Dublin Bay, a New Zealand bred rose, it looks stunning, and I have grown this rose in other gardens, but it has no fragrance. I am hoping they do well and that I get lots of lovely scented blooms this summer!
I also managed to plant a seedless white grape and a few more vege plants. What a fun day. Mind you, I now have a sore back and my hands are in need of some serious moisture therapy!
Hope you have all had as much fun as I have had today!
