Lazy gardening.
Posted by Big John on August 19, 2007
Remember my figs ? Well now I have something new growing out of that same hedge …
… ‘Passion Flowers’ ! … and what I take to be ‘Passion Fruit’ …
Now I don’t plant many things in my garden and most of the shrubs etc. have been there for years, and in some cases have grown pretty wild.
I have left one corner of my garden completely untouched to encourage the birds and other wildlife. This area is almost as impenetrable as a tropical jungle. In fact the last time that I ventured into it I thought I caught sight of an old Japanese soldier.
I’m not too keen on gardening, but I rather like this idea of sitting back and waiting to see what pops up next.
Well bugger me ! … I’ve just spotted …
… blackberries growing in ‘the jungle’ !

You’re MY kind of gardener. While I love viewing all the pretty things that grow…I’m hopeless for tending to them.
GORGEOUS photos! I love Passion Flowers and the fruit is amazing.

“I have left one corner of my garden completely untouched to encourage the birds and other wildlife.” I have a whole yard like that! And now I’ve got a rationale for it…Thanks John.

Gawilli – The figs were delicious, but you can have too much of a good thing.
