The garden

We've worked really hard on our garden this year. A lot of weeding and removing bits we didn't want ( eg our ginormous geranium that overwhelmed our front garden just had to go) and generally doing a lot of planting and tidying.

Our front garden- we've planted lots of home grown perennial seedlings, and put in a lot of bulbs.


The perennials are already spreading and should make a good display next year and in the future.



The bottom of our back garden, and our treat to ourselves, our fabulous arbour (note the cushions I made the covers for last month). The pots hold a variety of perennials and small shrubs, including Honesty which is the first plant I really remember being special as it grew in my Grandads garden. I even bought a small eucalyptus plant last week- the first time I've ever seen one on sale. I really like the stepping stones - they look great and add a touch of class.


The forecasters are now saying that at last the weather is turning sunny and warm, possibly for the next month, so we hope to spend plenty of time in the garden finishing the planting out and getting ready for winter, with, hopefully, plenty of time for relaxing too... Let's hope they are right!

Until next time
