I love my house and I love my town, but the thing I love most - if you hadn't guessed - is my garden.
Today was spent in there pottering about, the grass had it's first mow of the year. I strimmed. I planted some purple sprouting broccoli in the raised bed (currently the rasied bed is home to that, leeks, spring onions and one black Russian tomato.) I have some runner beans and Morning Glory gone in.
Thought I would provide the latest before and after gardening photos, because they are always fun to look at. 1 year ago and today.
1 year ago. I must say the grass was healthier, probably because it had hardly been walked on.
Today. So different.
A year ago. Untouched but so rural and lovely.
By the way, the near bed is so full because I have put pots and stones on it to deter the cats - seems to be working.
Took this just after the doors and windows went in last year.
It is nice to look back and see the difference.
Well who knows what the next 12 months will bring and what the before and after photos will look like then.
Next before and after will be the bathroom - later in the Summer months.
Well done on all your achievements, your place looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic Dan, and will get even better year on year.That's what I love about gardening - the fact that things are constantly evolving. This year we have a veg patch in the back garden aswell as having the allotment. I'm going to enjoy being able to just pop out of the back door to pick the ingredients for tea!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't time fly. And what a lot you have achieved in those 2 years. Well done.

ReplyDeleteI think it looks amazing. Well done you. and such vision to be able to visualise where everything should go. I really wish I had that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a job as a garden designer who sings to the plants is in your future?
Aww, so jealous! Sometimes I feel like running away from the city and living in a cave somewhere! :)
