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

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....

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

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 bear_original
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 bear_whistle  bear_whistle  We do always have a huge hot plum pud with all the trimmings though.

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
