In The Garden!

Good Morning!

It seems to be a weekly thing me sharing my garden photo's with you, I do hope your not getting too bored of it yet! lol Today I thought I'd start with a few photo's from the font of my house for a change. The border plants are starting to bush up nicely and one of the dwarf Dahlia's has flowered.

I decided to move the Clematis that I got from my Grandad out of the Greenhouse, next to the front door. I cut down some bamboo sticks that I had to form a frame which fingers crossed the Clematis will climb around!

Back to the back garden and I couldn't resist buying more (yes more!) plants to add to my collection this week lol I bought another Astrantia, this time in a light pinky green shade which I added to my side border and also an Alstroemeria which I planted up into a pot.

Speaking of Pots, the others seem to coming along nicely ...

The Sweet Pea's are also finally getting some flower buds!

The other Astrantia seems happy in it's new home and my Foxgloves are finally growing up!

Lastly here's a few random shots as always :)

Of course I couldn't resist sharing this photo with you of my Doggies that I managed to snap yesterday afternoon after photographing the garden :)

Thanks for popping by, I'l be back again tomorrow!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

In The Garden!

Good Morning!

Seeing as it is Monday I have some more Garden photos for you all! I decided to give my Greenhouse a little re-shuffle over the Weekend and I think I prefer the layout much better now :)

Before I forget to share it with you the tomatoes are starting to fruit ...

Over the weekend I went to a Garden Centre with the family and even though I work in a Plant Nursery I couldn't resist buying some more plants that we don't have. I have had my eye on Astrantia's for a while and finally got my hands on one and planted it up in the Garden yesterday. I also got some foliage plants called Coleus that are really eye-catching!

I also got a pot to plant the Clematis up in, all I need now is a frame for it to climb up. Over the weekend my Grandad also gave me a spare Compost bin and some plastic drums cut in half to use as containers for some left over plants that I had.

Here's some last few photo's to leave you with!

See you all again tomorrow!

HAPPY CRAFTING!
