Dirty hands...

I love planting -- the rich smell of soil, the cool splash of the water and the anticipation of the pleasure of flowers or fresh produce.

Naomi loves planting too -- running around the nursery looking at statues, getting very dirty hands and the fun of washing under the tap afterwards.

The catch is that I am not too good at the growing and maintaining bit.... But here is our latest attempt. Basil, parsley, chives and some pretty flowers. I am hoping the cooler Atherton weather will be kinder to my gardening ambitions than the coastal heat and humidity was....
