I grow my art

This is the fruiting body of a red toadstool.  Too crazy for words.  Someone told me it looks like surgery gone wrong.

Another Hydroponic Garden

I think, as we become more and more urbanized, and at the same time, we yearn to have fresh, healthy food, the hydroponic garden will take off. The hydroponic garden looks like it could be dismantled fairly easily. So it may suit a renter. 

Here is another idea which Barrie sent to me. This garden has a very small footprint compared to the large  yield.  This would work in a very small space, indeed.  The structure would need to be strong. Though , it looks like the bottoms of the tubes are resting on the ground, which would help with managing the weight.



I am going balmy at my place with the weeds.  But look at this...............no weeds in the hydroponic garden.

Thanks Barrie for this great picture. This looks amazing.

 And another thing.

Speaking of going balmy, I found a 21 metrre vertical garden in the middle of Barcelona, alas while surfing the net.  I went looking for "vegietecture"and found this.  Here is the link:-

Other People's Gardens - Ted & Kay's Excellent Adventure

Easter Sunday, was a lovely day, a morning coffee with friends at a special garden. 

The garden looks finished and truly beautiful.  It is set in a sweeping landscape and the house and garden take advantage of that vista.










 A quick trip to the veggie patch.  I think I am on the set of "Gardening Australia"


 Plenty of wow factor here. If you don't like it..........





 You have the goat to answer to!





Speaking of silly goats



What is that purple bank on the left?

Look more closely


They are Tibouchina


Back to the patch, it's roses and rhubarb


Asparagus and Artichoke

Here is the lovely gardener


Time to say goodbye and head up the beautiful drive.

Thanks Ted and Kay for a lovely Easter Sunday morning
