I am at Uni on a Sunday, working away on the thesis and grant applications and RA work and generally hiding away inside. While the weather outside is a little windy it is not entirely unpleasant but the self-imposed study exile means I am missing a few lovely garden moments. This weekend the MIFGS - the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show is on. I went last year, and it was pretty fun and from reports by friends it was pretty good this year too. For a review see
Garden Amateur's post on his adventures at MIFGS. I wont be making it this year, although I am only a few blocks down the road from it as I write! I'll be even closer when I wander over to Lygon street for a necessary afternoon coffee. Oh well, there is always next year.
Other garden loveliness is eluding me today too. The first red sunflower and the white cornflower opened on the balcony. I wished I could stay and bask in their newly opened glory but alas the sheer volume of work cut this to a few measily seconds. Still it was enough time to take photos and I will upload them sometime soon.
So to keep me happy, and to let you bask in the balcony garden too, I posted a pic of its recent state at the top of this post. Greeny goodness, Enjoy.
