Growing Garden

Look, the sunflower seeds the girls planted on their birthday are growing!

Very exciting! It said on the seed-bag that it would take a couple of weeks. I don't know how long time until we can expect a blossoming flower?

Although many trees are finished for the season, like our delicious plum tree, we are waiting for zingy citruses to mature....mmmmm!

Lots and lots of oranges coming soon!

The mandarins are almost gone...

Huge grapefruits hanging heavy

The lemon tree is full!

Gorgeous pink colours

Don't know what this one is called?

Sunflowers

Birthday activity this year: 'can we plant in the garden, mamma??'

Sunflower girls

Ok, so we did. Pappa went and got some seeds for us. We had Sunflower seeds, Coriander and Parsley seeds. And we each had one pot to plant.

First some soil...

...then make a hole and put the seeds in there...

....must have labels so we can check whose flowers are sprouting...

...and watering every day...

...even pappas Tiger Chilli-plant we got him at the farmers market got a re-potting and some new soil. All set. Now just to wait for them to blossom!
