Hi @frog. I love your name too! Here is a bit of our garden...with my pups. I'm having difficulty getting more than one photo to upload. Our garden if very leafy with lots of bromeliads and succulents. I don't actually have many photos of plants and I'm away from home at the moment so more later!

Hi @frog thanks for reminding me that "winter always passes." I had the most terrible mood swing into a low at the beginning of winter. Thankfully my friends and family were able to help pull me out of it. I love seeing all the bulbs come up in the place we moved to 14 months ago, but winter certainly isn't my favourite month -bring on Spring. I agree that pets and gardens go hand in hand. I have some herbs growing in pots out the back there's rosemary, basil, mint, marjoram, chives, sage in the ground and parsley to go in a pot. I spend most of my time in the garden raking and sweeping up leaves, some of them I let rot down and use it as compost the next year. Happy gardening.

Hi @frog , you sound like u know a lot more about gardening than me. I enjoy pottering, and hav enjoyed doing my succulent gardens, but rly know very little about gardening, different types of plants etc. I hav a couple of herbs growing - oregano, thyme, chives (which arent doing so well) and basil (which grew  brilliantly in the hotter months but not doing so well now) and thats about it. Im in a rental so the rest of the plants r whatever was here when we moved in. They r all doing much better now than when we first moved in bcoz i do my best to look after them. Not sure that the previous tenants knew what water is! Lol. 

Hope u are having a nice weekend @frog. Take care. ☺

Hi @Doglover 

Chives is one I want to try. Haven't had luck with it in the past. Basil next spring/summer too.

I'm not at all an expert... have plent of failures! But it's nice to potter and have some wins as well.

Hope your Sunday is going ok

I agree @frog , its nice to potter. I rly enjoy gardening when im doing it by choice, not obligation. Which is the grt thing about living on a smaller block with less garden. It only requires about 2 hours work every 3 months to keep it looking nice, anything else i do is by choice and thats when i rly enjoy it.
