Making me happy

This week DS and DDIL bought me these beautiful flowers.


My salad leaf and sweet peas are coming through. The geranium next to it was given to me 10 years ago and each summer it goes outside but back to be cossetted in the winter.


After my downsize move last November, my patio is coming together. I have started a hedge of Red Robins. Small at the moment as having to get what I can with my usual place shut down and not taking any more orders as overwhelmed. I am happy with these though as they look very healthy.


Tomorrow my friend is dropping off two tomato plants her husband grew from seed. I always grew too many when I had a garden. I didn't grow any for the last two years due to poor health so I am looking forward to home grown ones again. I am  waiting for herb plugs to be delivered. I grew some from seeds but only the coriander is doing any good. I am also waiting for scented petunia plants to go into the baskets. Friends ask if I miss my garden but I don't miss it at all as it just got too much to handle. The patio is in full sun afternoon and evening so I can eat out there quite often and just enough to grow a few bits.

  6. Our garden is getting too much to handle and we talk about moving house but don't feel ready yet. Husband was trying to do the 'big stuff' of tree trimming but agreed (eventually) to pay someone to do the heavy work. I think he is glad he did. We grow a few vegetables, but not a lot.

  7. Your gardening area is a so lovely and far ahead of ours. I don't think I will be able to go out and get tomatoes or bigger plugs which makes me sad but I have started quite a few flower and basil seeds. I don't know how they'll do but my fingers are crossed- - it will just take a little longer for them to actually produce. Most all of my things are in pots except some of the perennial herbs and strawberries. It's a lot easier that way.
