quarter acre in NZ

Many of my Facebook friends asked me how big is my land. They asked because I have shared many photos of my flowers around my house in Hamilton. Most of them have not been to see the real flowers, only the photos which I shared now and then on my wall.

Very often I shared photos of fruits planted in my backyard. I seem to be living on an orchard with plums, mandarins, lemons, apples, peaches, persimmons, strawberries, Tamarillo and many types of veges.

November is the time when all flowers in my garden are in bloom.

Roses, Nov 2009

The roses in my garden this year, are especially large and plentiful.

There is nothing more boring than watching a rose grow. That is why I am not a gardener. Any one who thinks that golfing is boring, does not play the game. I rest my case.

Mum's roses are in full bloom again.

Bouquet of roses

This bouquet of 8 roses outside my bed room window was the result of many hours of hard work from Christine, my wife whose hobby is gardening. She has planted many flowers in our garden in Hamilton.
