Geranium and har singhar flowers

Although It has been a while the fall plantings are done, still some late summer bloomers are going all the way into november. And that includes sweet almond vebena, moon flower, sad tree, murraya and rain lilies. Okay i admit the first winter/spring bloomer in my garden is geranium. Sadly pelargoniums are not common here although they suit better to our climate. so here they go. And dont forget to visit Lisa's Chaos for other macro picks

Fall plantings

Weather has cooled enough for fall plantings. This is my first fall sowing as last year i was almost a newbie with seeds and had no confidence that i will be able to grow a plant from a seed. This year things are quite different though. Here are some pics from what i call the grand fall planting, it does not include bulbs though as we will have to wait till November 1st for their planting







































































Swan river daisy, linum and california poppy seedlings













Heliotropium seeds which i got from chilterns UK












Nigella sativa seedlings. I bought these seeds from a grocery shop.

















cinnamon powder which i use as fungicide as i am too afraid of damping off.


















Coco peat being refined in a sieve for covering the seeds
