Spring seedlings

The weather has definately taken an upward "spring" and things are beginning to grow in the garden. Last week I spent hours pouring over the Kings Seeds catalogue planning what vegetables and flowers I'd like to grow.

This week my wonderful partner has spent time making our own newspaper pots and putting those seeds to bed. I can't wait to see these tiny seeds turn into beautiful plants...

We have planted from seed:
Kingfisher Daisy, Sunrise Lupin, Nemophila (penny black and snowstorm), Oriental Poppies, Cherry Baby Rudbeckia, Edible Violas and Gazania Daybreak.
This weekend we will plant:
Red bunching onions, Heirloom Rainbow Tomatoes, Lettuce (little gem), Zucchini (gold rush), Jalapeno Chillis, Gourmet Basil mix, Eggplant, Artichoke and Corn.

Kereru

I made this cushion cover using an old blanket that came from my Mum's family. I used felt pieces to make the shape of the kereru. I figured that because I don't have any Kereru in my garden yet I might as well have one in my lounge!
