gardening in the lovely South African sun
Here is my gardenless, Garden in the cold winters of Pretoria. I call it gardenless because we moved here before i got into plants, so pretty much everything is in a pot. If you walk out of our back door you will see my blue greenhouse and some lovely bromeliads!
Some old reused car tires filled with bromeliads and topped of with Tradescantias.
My quite emty greenhouse although there are more than 50 plants
Reused tree
White orchid cut flower coloured blue...
View of Pretoria from our house...

no photos included.....
I always preferred Pretoria weather ( we lived in Jhb ). Loved the Jacaranda trees. Thinking about it makes me a little homesick for South Africa, as well as Zim...

Love the tires! Breaks the monotony of the brick wall.
