Thought I would share my garden with you all.
This is my 2nd hobby...gardening.
The piccies are, Wisteria, Pansies and Poppies and of course the vedgie plot...
Looks just beautiful Denise.
Hi Denise,
Your garden looks beautiful. It's my husband with the green fingers not me .
Look at the colour of the sky. I'm jealous! As I'm writing this ours is grey, and we have plenty rain also.
Love kayx.
Thanks Kay and Christine,
Today was 21 degrees, supposed to reach 28 degrees on Sat and it is not even summer yet..
Denise you can come and do my garden any time. You have made your little bit of Australia very pretty. I love that Wisteria, so beautiful. Well done!
Hugs, Jane.
Denise what a beautiful garden, it looks so colourful. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Hi Denise
Love your spring garden, it actually looks very English, with plants we would have in England. I love Australia and am looking forward to visiting my daughter in Queensland for Christmas. We hope to have a typical Aussie Christmas. What would be the favourite Christmas food out there?
Hugs
Dorothy

ummm we are in late fall and there are very few flowers...very beautiful garden..i'm jealous! I put in wisteria about 7 years ago..not a single blossom yet! waa! deb
Thank you so much everyone, I am so pleased to be able to share my garden with you all.
Dorothy, we usually have the full hot traditional Chrissy meal, even if it is a hot day... my previous home had a lot of English style flowers too, I love them because most of them self seed..
Deb, what I was told about Wisteria is that you need 2 plants so they can cross pollinate, then they will flower....
Your garden is absolutely gorgeous Denise. I can tell you have put alot of time into it. It's perfect!!!!!!!!!

Deb prune your wisteria back really good and I bet you get blooms! I had a vine growing on an antique victorian fence that was taking over it, it was lush and green, but weighing the wires down. so I pruned it back very sparse, and the next year guess what?? TONS of blooms.
Lovely garden you have Denise, I love your rock border, Pam
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Gorgeous garden, Denise! Yep - we're full throttle in the fall season here. Still pretty warm in Texas, though, and everything is still green with lots of mums in bloom.
just beautiful!!!
I like lots of colour in the garden, it does make one happy when I go for my morning wander around it...
Your garden is very pretty Denise, we're not supposed to grow any sort of poppies here in Tas, not even the ones that don't produce opium! I think the police can't tell the difference. But we do have a spectacle when the fields are all in bloom in early Summer
We gave up on the traditional cooked Chrissie dinner years ago and usually go for a barbie with some prawns (how Aussie can you get?), salmon, loads of salad and of course buckets of wine We do always have a huge hot plum pud with all the trimmings though.
the first year they said to dig around the roots and scratch them..so we did and then last year and the year before it was just taking over the porch so my dh pruned about a third of it out both times..still no blooms! sob! i cant grow that other flowering vine with the big purple blossoms either, i kill every one,,terrys cousin threw some into the cement around his porch post and they came up! deb
Cut back all the way to the main trunk and dont leave a lot..........trust me. You will be pleasantly surprised. I'd cut back more than a third!!
Your garden looks beautiful Denise, I wish I had a green thumb!
OH WOW I just adore Wisteria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful garden, love all the colors you have! Gezzzzzzzzz we will be getting snow before long. Guess I can look at your garden pics to warm up!
Your garden is so beautiful Denise with all the colour. You must really enjoy being out in it.
I have a wisteria growing that I am forever cutting back as it just takes over, it is nothing like your beauty.
I have a photo on my blog, after the wind and rain had knocked off a lot of the flowers.
Hugs
Carolyn
