    Thanks for that, I do keep busy but love the experience

    That meant a lot to me particularly as I just lost my brother 2 weeks back at age 45

    Wow! I wouldn't mind coming home to that garden and sitting on the patio watching the plants grow. It is a credit to you. :T

    Are you going to open it up to the public? Like these brave people do ......

    Thanks all for photos sorry didnt comment on them

    Keep the pictured coming and remember it takes time/try and error and most of all patience to get a nice garden.

    I am still learning myself :)

    Chimera, I love that you are growing so much salad & veg in wall platers and tubs!

    In a way you are quite lucky having a completely blank canvas to work on - it will be hard work but at least you don't have to adapt someone else's ideas. I bet it will be lovely this time next year!
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    Some new pics.

    These are the geranium plugs I got from Morrisons. They're doing really well.

    S1050934.jpg

    S1050937.jpg

    These are the reduced strawberries that I got from Homebase in Poundland planters.

    S1050936.jpg

    Fuschia plugs which are going to need repotting soon and possibly pinching out?

    S1050940.jpg

    I'm so excited! My alliums are coming up at the back of the hyacinth. :T

    S1050941.jpg

    These are the pots at my front door. Pansies have really come on in the last week or so.

    I feel slightly embarrassed to put my pics up as yours are all absolutely fantastic and my are dull in comparison :(
    Hoping they will turn out to be more colourful as the months go on to summer.

    My garden pics guest password to view is moneysaver

    Few notes under each pic, but half of them I dont even know what they are lol, I just plant them.

    Have added a couple of pics, some of my seeds are doing ok, the sunflowers seem to have shot up in a day. never grew them before. kids are in awe of them.

    Absolutely love the ability on my camera to take close ups on flowers although dont have many flowers at the moment to take yet. they are my fave pics at the moment.
    two of my freecycle rose bushes seem to have taken and a flooded clematis seems to have started growing again?

    loving everyones pics, wish i had more colourful pots like all yours :(
