Blooming marvellous!

Finally, my gardenias are in bloom!  My garden (and house) have that sweet perfume that make me swoon.  I love gardenias and I think anyone who has visited my garden knows this - I have about 12 bushes!

And with all the rain and absolutely no hope of derris dust staying on the tomatoes, it's little wonder the snails have had a good feast on our tomato vines - getting some lovely plump tomatoes though - we do need to pick them before they drop because the weather is too unpredictable to let them ripen on the vine unfortunately.

More strawberries!  Our strawberry plant is paying big dividends this summer!

As is the blueberry bush - what excites me is next year it will be bigger and each year we'll get more - maybe one day my dream of making a blueberry pie without it costing a small fortune may come true.

And here's our grapevine - it's waiting for our new garden bed to be finished after almost carking it over the winter - happy now! (It's an Isabella)

And the oregano, doing it's usual December thing - going crazy.

And the sage is too - this is the best I've seen it.

The coriander has gone to seed, will collect these over the weekend.

And the pretty potato vine, we look over this from the loungeroom, I love it.

And here's a view from the deck - look at the Jacaranda in all its splendour! The gardenias are lined up in front!

So that's the latest update!  Are you getting busy in your garden?
