New flower bed

Hello all,
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.

  1. 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.

    1. It 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.

  4. Nice 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.

  6. I 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.

    Planning raised beds this year - fingers crossed I can manage to grow something! Well ... something other than courgettes! x

  8. We 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.
