New garden!

So, while I was away in America, Jon kept himself busy in the garden (but didn't tell me!) clearing the last part which I had been putting off having dumped all of the rubbish up there from the rest of the garden. I wandered out to look at my flowers to find a whole new garden!


   

We have grass and a path all the way to the back of the garden! Potatoes are also growing well, and you may have noticed a small ginger cat sitting on the brick shed base...not ours but he visits regualrly. Now all the weeds have gone, we had space to fill so we have planted onions, sweetcorn, tomatoes, radishes with courgettes and mint waiting to go in.

Some garden flowers...

Spring clean

Had a bit of a srping clean and emptied the greenhouse!


Hosed down all the pots and the greenhouse and chucked away the dead plants. First crop of potatoes has been planted and the pond has been cleaned out. Phew! Good chance to study froggy; stopped to do a little sketch of him:


Lastly, I thought I would post this lovely photo of little Alice in the garden last spring in her memory. She was such a sweet little thing and we shall miss her terribly:

Colour at last!!!

These iris bulbs came out today...

  

And these snow drops a few days ago....


The rose bushes have new buds and there are lots of tulips sticking their heads out of the soil to see what's going on.

Hurrah!

A comfy place to sleep

Little foxy seems to be able to sleep anywhere! He was curled up fast asleep in the middle of next door neighbours garden for several hours this morning....
