Seed saving. I must admit I’m not very good at this but I know it’s very important. Luckily, it’s easier to do with some plants than others. It’s so easy with a nasturtium plant because you just pick them of and allow them to dry in a cool, dark place for a few weeks before planting. And sometimes you don’t even need to do this because they self-seed and pop all over the garden. Swipe to see some volunteer seedlings have popped up in the courtyard garden that I’ve replanted where I want them to grow. The basket is from a charity shop. Because I have to do a lot of container gardening I get tired of buying pots and I can only ask my husband to make so many boxes 😂 So these baskets are an affordable, environmentally friendly (because of the upcycling) cute alternative for planters. Anyone else like to plant in baskets? #containergardening #basketplanter #nasturtium #nasturtiums #seed #seedsaving #nasturtiumseeds #nasturtiumseedling #gardenblogger #myjoburgfooddiary

The shortest flower arrangement ever. These edible nasturtium flowers will go into a salad tonight. Picked them from a volunteer nasturtium plant that has grown out of control and needed to be removed from the garden. Here is a look of our second kitchen tile, also from Italtile. We always knew from the beginning that we wanted subway tiles for a splash back, I just had know idea there were so many options to choose from. We eventually went with a grey mosaic subway with a slight bevel, this is our main backsplash tile. We decided on grey grouting because we didn’t want the mosaic pattern to compete with the detail of the cottage shaker doors of the cupboards. It’s all coming together... #newkitchenthings #kitchendesign #kitchendecor #kitchendetails #nasturtium #nasturtiumflowers #tiles #tilestyle #kitchentiles #subwaytilebacksplash

Ventured out in the rain to go and take a look at some of the spectacular succulents on display at Johannesburg’s Emmarentia botanical gardens at the #johannesburgsucculentsociety spring show today. I love these plants for their unique detail and incredible resilience to harsh environments #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #echeveria

Such an amazing feast, antipasti and pasta alla norma. Thank you for a wonderful lunch and welcome home to the Penny-Bothmas @brandobothma @cait_penny

We may be in our 30s but we’re never going to be too old for ice-cream on a sunny afternoon. Happy Birthday @sjabu_ngobese 🍦🥂 @paulshomemadeicecream
