My newest garden(s). =D AND hanging planter. =D
Photo 1: My newest raised (vegetable) garden (galvanised steel, $49 from The Warehouse - it was Westminster, the cheaper of the two brands) - planted with MORE beans and pumpkins, and a rhubarb plant. MADE with five bags of Karyn's compost and four bags of potting mix I just bought from Bunnings for $8 each. =D Plants free or very cheap, as they were grown from seed, and the rhubarb was only $5. =D
Photo 2: Blanche's hanging pot (free), filled with a small amount of potting mix and planted out with petunias (very cheap, at 97 cents each from Bunnings). =D
Photos 3-7: Blue daisies and more (red, striped, and white) petunias (also from Bunnings) in my rose garden, that I topped up with potting mix. =D
Photo 8: My new red dahlia I just bought (also from Bunnings). =D
Photo 9: My new African violet I just bought from Bunnings. =D I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!! =D Hehehe. =D
