Native weevil



This beautiful iridescent weevil loves eating the pollen on the Amaranth.

It is a native weevil and can often be found in our gardens.

Frogs






You know you are doing something right when your garden is full of frogs.

We created a new pond a few years back and even with children, herons and ducks we are still inundated with frogs.

Cabin couch


Finished covering the mattress and pillows on the cabin couch. 
It is a fun challenge to find fabric to re-purpose.
The pillow fabric came from a second hand shop -somebodies remnants.
The couch fabric was a remnant from a local upholstery shop.

Just looking out for a second hand divan bed to be the base.

Self sown


These Silverbeet seedlings knew when they needed to germinate.
I will transplant them now and possibly sow some more winter greens.

It is great to garden as if you know nothing. I think you see a lot more and tune in to what nature is telling you. We will never be able to understand the full complexity of it all.

Learning to read. Every day. The patterns and webs nature weaves.
