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.

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...

Sorry having a bit of trouble posting

Will post the jacarandas when in flower!

Got some photos up

Looks great!

Thank you for sharing your gardenless photos!:)

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

I will tidy up the rest of the place and post again

Great idea with the tires.

we had to bore in holes for drainage, then it took me another month do get to planting

Looks great. At our local greenhouse they are using them setting flat. I'm not sure what they put on the bottom to hold the soil but they are painted in bright colors all different. They look kind of cool.

I like the vines in top of yours.
