Spring has well and truely sprung here in Melbourne; the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and everything is in full bloom. I've been home all week with a cold that is bording on the flu, so I haven't made much sewing progress, so I've got pretty garden pictures to make up for it.
The first broccoli head has finally appeared:
The broad beans are continuing their mass flowering; I hope the beans aren't too far away!
The apricot is covered in flowers, and the peach isn't far behind:
The daffodils are in bloom:
The zucchinis have sprouted, and the pumpkins are just peeking out of the ground. I planted eight of each in case they didn't all germinate, and now I've had to find "homes" for all the spares! Fortunately I've got a few vegie-growing friends. I should be able to transplant the zucchini into the garden this weekend.
The strawberries are showing the first signs of fruit:
And the bees are busy helping themselves to the flowers on the rosemary (in the centre of the photo):
I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into my garden. I should be returning with a quilt-related post soon, as I've finished sewing the Sasafras blocks but they are waiting to be assembled.
