Moroccan Blue

As the weather was glorious this weekend I spent the whole of it in the garden, getting all those annoying little jobs done. I painted all of the fence work – while I know the vivid blue is not to everyone’s taste, I love it. It reminds me of being in Morocco & the wonderful gardens there.

I also moved some bushes that were threatening to take over the flowerbed after being left to do their own thing for four years – and of course that left gaps, so I just had to go and get some new plants to fill them!

It was hard work, but I love how the garden looks now – as you can see Bronwyn approves too! I even managed to enjoy Sunday evening, sitting beside the fire pit with a book and a glass of wine – that’s the life!

Here Comes The Sun...

" Here comes the sun...It feels like years since it's been here!"

It seems that the weather has finally started to warm up ever so slightly & sunshine is trying it's best to stay. I usually get my garden sorted much earlier in the year than this, but it's been far too cold so far for any veg plants to survive.

This weekend I took my cue from the sunshine & finally planted out all the delicate little plug plants I'd been keeping alive in the sunroom. All my veg grows in my front garden as there's not enough room in the back, and despite my mum being concerned about neighbours stealing my tomatoes I've not had a problem so far! I have a greenhouse and a veg bed out the front, and these are nicely full now with tomatoes, peppers, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, carrots, parsnips, mangetout & pak choi. Plus at the side of the house I have a 3 tier planter system with salads, herbs, spinach & beetroot all growing from seed.

It feels so nice to have finally got things organised outside, and I'm now looking forward to eating it all!
