Hello Hive gardeners, I'm new to this community and would dearly like to be part of the inspiring like minded gardening friends. I would love to introduce myself and my garden to you.
I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and a little bit of an arty-fart; I love gardening, not the best in the West, but trying my best at it, still have a lot to learn and willing to engage with others, learning from their successes and failures.
By reading through some of the posts especially 
I must say though, I've been neglecting my garden a little these past few months due to covid and a little hiccup "health wise" ,but, all's well now.
Hive Gardening community has sparked my desire to take up the garden fork and spade and take stock on what needs to be done in order to bring my garden back to life again.
So!... that's exactly what I did, please come with me on a little stroll around my garden in sunny Durban South Africa.
Starting with my green house; nothing much is happening there at the moment, except a few green pepper plants battling a bit in the heat, a few pumpkin seeds at the back waiting to sprout through the ground. I'm hoping to plant some beans and spinach next week, the green house is most definitely priority number one.
I'd appreciate any suggestions from my gardening friends.
I'm growing some ginger in a planter bag which hangs outside my kitchen, not sure how well they'd do there, the plants seem to be healthy and happy for now.
I didn't plant these tomatoes out side my back door, they seemed to appear on their own, I think the birds had somethin to do with it Lol!
I'm not complaining, they're very welcome.
I have a lemon, lime and nartjie tree which don't seem to want to bear fruit. We planted them about six years ago and they have never produced fruit, we have tried magnesium, compost and a few other things, still no fruit, waiting in anticipation. I would love some advise on this.
The Lavender bush seems to be very happy and thriving.
Everything else in the garden seems to be having a good time and enjoying the hot weather.
Looks like we'll have quite a harvest of avocados this year.
Omg!...unlike the citrus trees.
My Rose trees aren't doing so well at the moment, think they need a little TLC, I cut them down a bit and kept the stems to propagate them. I've planted them in containers, I've had some success with this before.
Maybe my rose plants have been planted in the wrong place, they are in a very dry and hot spot, don't think they're very happy there, they look some what bedraggled.
Rose trees not happy chaps in my garden, have to move them to semi shade I think.
I propagated this rose tree from stems, I put egg shells around most of my plants to keep the snails away, they're really a pest.
My tree orchards have just finished flowering, wish I'd taken a photo of their beautiful display of colorful flowers, oh well!... next time.
The old tea pot hanging on the tree is there hoping to house a bird's nest, so far none have taken occupation yet.
Thank you for taking the time to stroll around my garden with me, I hope to get to know you all personally and learn from your expertise, enriching me with your knowledge and experience.
HAPPY GARDENING
