I've just returned from three weeks in NZ where I was visiting my sister. I feel like I've missed most of January here, but heard that it has been just beautiful here while I was gone. No rain, and beautiful crisp clear sunshine. I started a wintersowing project just before I left so will be eager to see how the little seedlings fare. http://bit.ly/hRPbbX

I met 'bootandall', a member here on Dave's garden, from Blenheim, NZ where I was. That was a highlight! And we also visited many garden centers there as well as public gardens. My sister joins me in our love of native plants and the native NZ plants are so different with exotic Maori names. I'll post some photos on my blog and post the link here to show and tell.

The sunsets are lovely in NZ, too...
