Six on Saturday – Sensational Salvias 8🌸4🌸23

Happy Easter Everyone! I have lots of varieties of salvias in my garden.I am a bit of a salvia collector. They seem to do well in our climate and live for many years. They can easily be divided as the perennial clumps steadily increase every year. They flower nicely in spring but in autumn here they really come into their own. Not fussy as far as soil, they like full sun but are tolerant of some shade, they are quite an adaptable species. they come in almost every colour of the rainbow. Some form tall woody shrubs and others hug the ground.

Salvia microphylla Pink Blush a strong autumn flowerer .A blue/purple salvia I purchased on my Birthday years ago and it still flowers in my Birthday month.Over the years, I rather cunningly made a favourite nursery and tearooms as my Birthday lunch destination, so I had to buy some plants for my Birthday! So consequently a lot of these were bought on my Birthday trips (not that I’m that old of course)! I have lost the tag on this one but it is one of the microphylla salvias. I can’t resist a blue/purple plant!Salvia gregii Raspberry Royal is a time honoured toughie that flowers for months. They last for many years in the garden.I like white plants that I use to create a floral lace around other brighter colours. This salvia gregii white is great to plant amongst the other more colourful salvias as a nice contrast. Lovely purple salvia sown by the fairies in my garden,  a complete new variety! They always sow fabulous new plants for me! Plus my purple verbena. Salvias Christine Yeo (the purple one) and chamaedryoides both are very drought hardy, good for dry areas in the garden that get full sun.Salvia microphylla coral flowers its head off at this time of year!

That’s all from me. See more beautiful Six on Saturday gardens from around the world, on the Six on the Saturday tag, our host is Jim you can find his blog here .

Six on Saturday -Water Means Life 1/4/23

Water means life or sometimes death to those plants genetically not used to it, see more about that below! It has been a cooler week where the colour has stated to return to my garden bit by bit. I have filled up the front verandah hanging baskets with hardy ivy leafed pelargonium cuttings and felicias and some dark purple calbrichoa flowers I found on the discount trolley at the local nursery. Rejigging them away from annual plants to dry hardy perennials instead for a more steady display of foliage and flower. I will show you photos of them next week.

Pretty Perovskia an autumn treat. spires of purple flowers great for back of beds that receive little water.My favourite garden tool, a mattock! You know when you have a favourite garden tool that you are in love with? This Is a very light ladies-sized tool that I do all my large digging with. I bought it from a hardware store when I first moved up here and have loved it ever since! I once lost it in the depths of the undergrowth for 2 years and finally found it looking a little daggy but still usable! The flowers have returned to Iceberg/Bonica standard rose. Seaside daisy, scabiosa and verbenas too have started too.Inside the vege-pod we bought this year. It is an amazingly productive place keeping us in cucumbers all summer long and beetroots, mini carrots, spring onions and capsicums. The more unsuccessful crops I had here were, snow peas, lettuce and coriander only because they grew way too fast and took over the vege-pod obscuring the other vegetables. Realizing in this excellent veggie growing space that less is more, leaving room for the existing plants to grow and expand and get comfortable. Overcrowding was definitely an issue at first, with over enthusisatic seed planting by me… whoops!.The back deck window baskets I planted a few weeks ago are staring to colour up. Good thing I planted them when I did, the petunias are no longer available in the garden centre in favour of the pansies, violas and stocks for the winter-spring annual brigade. But my petunia in pots flower all winter long, right into the next spring.Garden bed in my rose garden with purple verbenas, salvias Maroon and Bee Happy, nepeta Walkers Blue and rose at the back. Alas my fabulous emu bush, Eremophila nivea got too much of a good thing and died with all the excess spring rains we received here ( see the grey dead plant at the back). It was only 2 years old but I did plant it as a temporary nursemaid plant that grows fast and fills the garden bed before the slower plants at the back grow to full size (here I have vintage roses Mutabils and Louise Odier).Vale Eremophila nivea, alas you were only a fair weather friend! But you looked so superb for those two yeas, I will forgive you!

That’s all from me. Thanks for visiting!

Six on Saturday – Autumn Glory 25-3-23

It has been a gently warm week with some rather cool nights that necessitated a cardigan to be worn! We are still harvesting lots of cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs. The apple harvest has started with some cute little Johnathan apples being harvested from our tree, the tree is double graft and also is covered in Granny Smith cooking apples that can be harvested later. This is a older tree one that was planted many years ago by a previous owner, they also planted other fruit trees too that we are grateful for.

I have been finally getting on top of the massive weed pull and deadheading job from our quite wet spring. With a large garden and one person working on it it takes a while to work from one end to the other. All the excess greenery has made a nice mulch beneath the plants, gradually building up the soil’s fertility over the years and providing a home for the insects of the garden.

The colour has returned to the garden again now the autumn temperatures are lower and the water I am giving them finally reaches the plants rather than all going off into evaporation. The pelargoniums, salvias roses and a myriad of perennials are starting to colour up once again.

I have two very similar variegated zonal pelargoniuns that look as great in flower as out of it because of the spectacular foliage that stands out amongst the greens.Pretty purple gladioli, I don’t often grow these as they often fall over in the wind. This was protected from the wind in a pot hidden away from the prevailing winds and it still fell over after this photo was taken! I think they may be so over-bred that they are grown for the show bench or but not for the garden display and hardiness in the garden. Otherwise they would have way smaller flowers akin to a wild gladioli, that could handle some wind in the scheme of things. Salvia Bee Happy and Maroon salvia, that was born in my garden happily flowering. Thank you garden fairies! It is also attracting lots of garden pollinators.

Beautiful strawberry and white Regal butterfly pelargonium has started to bloom again.

We have hundreds little Jonathan apples on our tree! Just harvested last night. No sprays here in our organic garden, so you can chomp straight in without washing these little treats.Heaven on Earth is a new rose to my garden and she is very eager to bloom. A very worthy trait!

That’s all from me. Happy Gardening!
