Back at the end of May, I planted up my long boarder with plug plants that I’d grown on from tiny saplings. Here is my post from back then. With all the rain we’ve had, the boarder plants have shot up and today it looked gorgeous and so much more colourful that I expected it...

Through the lens: Looking forward to the Spring

by admin

I can’t wait for Spring to arrive. I’ve just had a wander round my garden and I can see new life emerging! Tiny buds on the fruit trees mean blossom is on its way so I thought I’d share some of Spring’s beauty with you – a taste of what’s to come.
