July

Thought I would add more photos today , the garden is starting to look good

Hanging basket with Petunias

I love this colour

Windy Weather

Its very windy here just now and I think the wind often does more damage to plants than anything , still they are managing to survive and looking good .


These are the Begonia's I rescued from a neighbours bin last year , the colours are wonderful and they never fail to make me smile .

The Lilies below I bought from the reduced corner at B&Q 3 years ago the keep coming up and they look and smell lovely .

Jolly June !

In Between Stage

This in between stage does my head in ! It gets too warm in the Greenhouse during the day and yet its too cold to leave the plants outside all night , so , out they come in the morning and in they all go at night again , my hubby thinks im mad ! still another couple of weeks and I should be able to get them out ready for the garden ….......I hope !

Bea keeps looking for Strawberries , she loves them !

Greenhouse Staging

My lovely hubby gave me money at Christmas to buy things I needed for the Garden / Greenhouse , I still had a few pounds left so I decided to change from the old pasting table and get nice new staging from Argos , here are the before and after pictures , Im quite pleased with the change


Before ( the old pasting table )

After ( nice new staging from Argos )

My son James went and collected it for me and built it up and thank you Natalie for going and buying it for me !
