I'm constantly apologizing for my lack of posts lately, but, truly, I haven't really had much inspiration of late, the muse has not been with me as they say.
There has been some lovely weather finally and what a treat that has been. However, as I got out there today to do some gardening, it started snowing - again! Oh well, some gloves on, a thick jumper and all was well. It hasn't stuck.
So I took the plunge and put spade into lawn. There is something about digging a new bed in the middle of lawn that feel quite scary, but I went with the power of my convictions and went for it anyway. It was a record for my stony soil, I managed to complete the bed in 3 and a half hours and, although it looks stark and a little weird at the moment, I am imagining it full of flowers later this year, with my stepping stone path on the far side of it.
By the way, look into the bottom end of my garden.
The result of 14 hours of hard labour.
Take care.
Is that a greenhouse I spy - now you'll be able to raise your flowers and veg from seed and make sure your tomatoes ripen - I wouldn't be without mine - its a godsend.
ReplyDeleteIt is! I love it already and it is completely empty right now. I can't wait for slightly warmer weather so I can really make use of it.
DeleteTomatoes here we come!

Well done that man.
ReplyDeleteNice greenhouse - just waiting to be filled with lots of seeds and plants - roll on warmer weather! xx
ReplyDeleteNice to see you around, thought you'd gone into hibernation! Oh, a greenhouse, now I am envious, can't find room in my garden for one, drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteYour greenhouse looks fab! Looking forward to seeing what you grow in it :)
ReplyDeleteI would love a greenhouse! Trying to convince my parents that it is essential for my Good Life dreams ... not sure we actually have room for one though.
ReplyDeletePlanning raised beds this year - fingers crossed I can manage to grow something! Well ... something other than courgettes! x
Fab Dan! You will be able to grow all sorts in it. Have you decided what to put in your new bed yet?
ReplyDeleteYes, all planned out. Lobelia, Verbena, lavender, Rose, Delphinium, Foxgloves and Shasta Daisies, is the plan
DeleteWe all lose our muse on occasions. I envy you the green house there is no space in my very tiny townhouse garden for one. Enjoy it - I'm sure you will.
ReplyDeleteYou`ve done amazingly well in such a short time. Congrats for that lovely greenhouse. I`m jealous!
