Spring in two Gardens for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day September

It is time to celebrate the beauty of spring and life and new beginnings! This is the ultimate time of year, for the Two Gardeners who have now progressed in leaps and bounds in the gardening world and have a deep respect for all things with roots and leaves! We have mulched, planted, composted and watered all year and we are now watching the rewards! Oh, lovely Spring!

Thank you for joining us for our September “Spring Parade” …

Here’s what’s blooming in Barbie’s garden in September 2011

Now is the time for show and tell! I know we have both been working very hard for the Spring Bloom Day to display all the blooms bursting with colour and creation!! My vegetables are still in their infancy, but I have been enjoying planting other beautiful plants. Enjoy my new arrivals and your Bloom Day xxx

Here’s what’s blooming in Christine’s garden in September 2011

I’m loving Spring, every minute of it! I’ve always enjoyed Spring, but this year is extra special as it is the first spring I get to enjoy all the work I’ve put into my garden over the last six months. From an overgrown jungle to a garden full of lovliness, everything feels fresh and new. I’m most especially proud of my Irises (which I was told I would never be able to grow) and of my indigenous South Africa blooms (please click to enlarge the Babiana – you need to see the enlargement to appreciate how gorgeous this little native is). So here are my favourite September blooms …
