I know some plants need really fresh seeds. I could never grow parsnip but after buying good quality seeds and using them early, I found it wasn't me at all!
I hope you post a picture if you get success ❤️

An intriguing novel and a good one to snuggle up under a blanket with!
Reading - you can't beat it ❤️

The book cover shows a city in almost silhouette, with the ocean in front, and two white ibises in an orange sky.

Gardening bag in a bookshop?
Paradise!
Had a lovely chat with the Dillons crew about my book sales. Signed copies with a free bookmark. Pleased to be stocked in this lovely shop.
I've spent hours here even before I was published!

Funny you say that. I could not grow nasturtiums. Then I gave my kid some seeds and hey presto, nasturtiums!
Now they grow everywhere, and I end up pulling them off other plants. Great material for the compost bin at that point.
That variegated leaf is gorgeous.
Good luck with yours! ❤️

These colourful nasturtiums are changelings!
When first planted nasturtiums are often orange & yellow. As they reseed they take on colours from pale yellow through to deep red. I haven't seen these multicoloured ones before.
What a treat!

The nasturtiums are pale yellow with an apricot stripe on each petal. A wooden stake with a steel grid, and a grass-seed weed are also in the photo.

I like Vanessa Greene's work, so I borrowed a few from the library. Love the gorgeous cup!

Did you know authors get royalties from library borrowings?
It's a great way to get our work out in the community but still get paid for our contribution.

Every day I try to make time for a small stroll around the garden. I always go back inside for my camera, because everyday there is something new happening. Our little suburban block provides surp…

Today's blog is up
Treasure in the garden is a little piece about just how much we can fit onto a suburban block!
If you want a challenge, you can count the weeds in this picture.
But you can see the path. A little!

Family, friends, books and gardening - the cornerstone of a good life.
Here's a pretty daisy from a friend's donated cutting, growing happily in front of a compost bin in our front yard. Both are playing their part in our ecosystem ❤️

My friend wrapped a present up in this lovely fabric & I couldn't resist using it as a backdrop for my book with those lovely pink carnations.
The flowers have withered but I'm growing some for the first time ever. I'm not a quitter!
Can't wait to see their colours.
#thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Four copies of the beautiful pink book The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl are spread out on some pretty fabric with some pink carnations. The fabric is creamy with little flowerbuds on it.

I saw this gorgeous lily on a walk recently. Just growing next to a carpark footpath.

These pretties were outside Dymocks Hyde Park this week. I think they are alstroemeria? I have an apricot coloured version in my back garden, with much thanks to my SIL ❤️
So gorgeous.

Spotted these beautiful roses on a lovely sunny walk.
I love roses, especially when someone else grows them!
So cheery ❤️

"Reading is a staple of life, like bread or water ... or chocolate."
Saw this at Dymocks Hyde Park today and I absolutely agree!
Thanks to the marvellous staff there for stocking #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl
I hope readers are enjoying it with bread, water ... or chocolate!

These beautiful pink carnations were begging me for a photo with my books.
Happy to oblige 💕

They are such a happy colour of pink, I keep smiling at them now in their little vase on my sink-top.

The pretty pink book The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl sits stacked, and a single copy is on a book holder. Joni's current bookmark sits in front, and some gorgeous pink carnations and buds sit tossed around in the photo, too.

I got this big beautiful bunch of flowers after my talk at West Torrens library. Such a lovely surprise ❤️ They had a marvellous pink theme to them too!
Here I am with the wonderful Hanna, who organised my talk. Always pleased to meet fellow booklovers! 🥳

Don't you love nature?
These three dandelions were enjoying the sunshine in a field of weeds. I appreciate their enthusiasm as well as their prettiness ❤️

Another fabulous book bag!
I'd love to have a set of bookshelves just like this ❤️

I love the pinks of this geranium. Isn't it gorgeous? It reminds me of the colour of #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl
