Strange summer weather

 


My front garden is looking green, thank goodness.  I can remember some summers in the past when the lawn is beige and the plants look tired from not enough water.  Not this summer though.  There has not been a lot of rain but we have not had the heat of summer, which slows down fruit ripening.  


In the back the tree ferns have not lost their foliage.  This tree fern is the lowest of the three and it provides shade for the begonia.


This large hydrangea bush comes up halfway of the bathroom window.  It loves the shady east facing side and hides the hot water tank from view, from the front.


A beautiful dahlia with more buds appearing.


The Cape violet, together with pink petunia, begonia and fern, decorate the front porch.


Some potted beauties, zinnia and marigold.  In the background is a healthy curry leaf plant.


White hibiscus and pink rose.


For the kitchen, a potted chilli plant and next to it a tomato bush.
