Gremlins somewhere

Mont Pellier

A garden in Franschhoek. In November 2008 we spent a wonderful day looking at open gardens in this affluent Winelands town. Some gardens were at guesthouses, money no object, lots of professional staff for maintenance. And some were private homes. How the other half live. Staff accommodation. A double

Dozen for Diana 10 - Papyrus and water

What do I love and want in my garden, however small it is? What did I dig up, or take cuttings, when we left the first garden for this one? What will I take when we move to the third garden? Since it is my list, first, the plants

Dragonflies and Chocolat

Chocolat was off to investigate, with me in hot pursuit, in case someone needs defending. I was woken early, a few days ago. Little voice saying - Is anyone there? Help! Save me! Fall out of bed into the garden, to find Chocolat looking irritably at the bulrushes. I

January flowers in our garden

Just before our camera threw up its hands, and said - Right I'm off - and gave up the ghost … Abelia and Adam-ant We had a morning with the tail end of sea fog rolling in from Langebaan lagoon, and rising when it

Kgalagadi 3

The Ungardener has always dreamt of seeing the famous lions of the Kgalagadi. So in June 2008 that was our mission. They are larger than lions elsewhere, as they may cover 12 kilometres at night hunting. The mane remains more impressive, as grassland is kinder to the clothes than
