Nature Flower Arrangement - Flowering Nasturtium Trellis Border

The Nasturtium trellis is flowering. They look so pretty. This is what I see when I look out the window to my backyard. I can't believe it's finally happening.


Now they just need to meet in the middle and hopefully grow overlapping so the flowers colour will mix.
The orange one is taking ages for some reason, maybe not enough sunlight on that spot.

Beneficial Plant, Lavender. Good for us and the bees.

My trustee Lavender bushes that keep on giving. Not only they give me their flowers but the stems can be propagated. I just love these plants as they are beneficial for the bees and bugs in the garden and they are beneficial for us as well. 

I collected a few flowers this morning, while leaving some for the bees.

Nurtured Lavender stem cuttings growing over winter:
Lots of roots and ready for transplant:

The Pretty Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus verticillatus)

Oh how easy it is to fall in love with this pretty indoor plant. I first came across their photos on the internet and immediately looked for source to buy them. 

The plant arrive in post as a lone cutting. I was a bit unsure how it will survive. Not long after it was planted, the plant started growing new leaves and stems. I managed to propagated another plant and kept propagating since then, until I have all of these new plants.

Autumn Planting April Update - Snow Peas and Purple Garlic Shoots Emerging Autumn 2020

The long awaited moment had come. Most of the snow peas have sprouted and reached a good height. We had to rush and tied them to the pole with soft plant ties because of the strong wind in Melbourne 2 days ago. See my post here on making your own soft plant ties. 


The soft plant ties provide the much needed support while holding the plants gently and allowing them some space to grow thicker and taller.

On another note, the purple garlic bulbs that were planted a week ago are now showing their shoots.

This is my second attempt at growing garlic bulbs. I'm hopeful it will have higher success chance this time as I'm using this garden bed with soft soil.

All three of them has a new leaf each and another new growth. And, the leaves are bigger. 

These 3 plants are pretty amazing and grow vigorously once their root system is established. The plants from left to right are: Golden Pothos (Devil's Ivy), Pink Syngonium and Ctenanthe Grey Star.
