Happy beautiful flower friends! ✨ Isn’t this time of year glorious in the garden, plants are establishing so nicely without the harsh heat. Cool season blooms are putting down their strong roots for springtime. They are really something to treasure & look forward to in the season especially the scented stock flower which only has a very specific planting window in our climate… We are loving the natives on the farm for our winter bunches..the textures, colours and scent all add that fresh garden vibe and it’s so lovely 🥰
Our roses are growing sleepy now and I’m not pushing them for new blooms before dormancy, instead letting them rest and concentrate on some more root development as many are still young. This Emily Brontë rose is so pretty isnt she? As well as a gardener, I’m also a sewer at heart, and absolutely love her beautiful button center 💖 & her gorgeous scent of course.
We still have many new plants going in gardens over the next week or two, some more snapdragons (we have actually lost a lot of earlier plantings), some more sweet William, pincushions (scabiosa), statice, as well as moving some yarrow and other perennials around.
It’s a great time to top dress beds with compost or cover crop for springtime plantings rather than leaving them bare and growing weeds instead, definitely keep that soil covered!
Have a fabulous week in the garden & a bloom filled week 🌸 Much love, Leigh & family x
