Happy Sunday 🌞

I love Snapdragons. I have grown a few in various colours & they never fail to impress.

Today is a day of planting a couple of Hydrangeas & the Hebe I bought. If I have time, I may sow some seeds & possibly some bulbs.

Happy Thursday 🌞

A quick walk around the garden and love these little Wallflowers. I feel they have the colours of autumn and look beautiful.

Happy Wednesday 🌞

A bit of pink since it's Wednesday.

This is Common Mallow and it's all around the coast, near to where we walk. I love the vibrant pink/lilac colour. The petals also look like they have purple veins running through them.

Happy Tuesday 🌞

The Muscari was a gift from my parents, but the Crocus and Anemone just fell into my trolley at B&Q, so they came home with me.

I think my spring bulb addiction is getting out of hand.

Happy Monday 🌞

Good Morning from the garden.

This used to be my vegetable trough last year, but decided to use it for flowers.
I currently have Sedum, Wallflowers and Sweet Williams, which will bloom next year.

Happy Saturday 🌞

After chopping back my Cosmos, due to Storm Floris battering them, this is the result.

This beautiful Cosmos is blooming again and possibly better than the first time round.

Another week done.

My Dahlias are blooming well, especially the Cafè au Lait. It's a first for me this year and I have been pleased with the flowers that have bloomed.

Happy Tuesday 🌞

The collection of Spring bulbs begins.

I thought I would pick up some bargain bulbs when in Tesco and B&M. There seems to be quite a selection this year, unless I have just got in there early before they go.

Happy Monday 🌞

It's the 1st of September, so what better way than to obtain a gardencentre haul.

One of the Hydrangeas will go in the pot, whilst the other will go in my empty raised bed. I'm not too sure about where the Hebe will go.

The only get about 2 hours of late afternoon sun, so seem to be perfect for the shade.

Happy Friday 🌞

I have been loving the little blooms on this Astilbe. This is a great plant for my front garden, as it doesn't get much sun until late afternoon.

Whats is your choice of plant for shady areas?

Happy Thursday 🌞

I don't take many photos of the front garden, so here are the Begonias I have been growing in wall planters.

They have bloomed fantastically well and make a gorgeous display.

Happy Wednesday 🌞

A view from the kitchen windowsill.

I enjoy looking out at the garden, watching the birds, bees & butterflies, going about their work.

It's amazing how relaxed the garden make you feel. Natures therapy.

Back at work after a good Bank Holiday weekend.

Another one of my houseplant succulents I have. An Echeveria, which will hopefully produce a flower next summer.

It's bank holiday Monday & it looks like it's going to be very warm here.

My lovely Cactus. I don't have too many houseplants, but I do like cacti, as they are very easy to keep.

Look at the gorgeous pink colour of this Hollyhock flower. These have been a real success for me. I am hoping to sow and grow a few more next year.

Here's to a good August Bank Holiday in the garden to you all.

These Creeping Zinnias have been blooming all since that start of Spring.

Happy Thursday 🌞

I never thought I would successfully get this Rudbeckia to grow. I have grown these from seed but they seemed to not do anything for ages, but then they shot up.

Never give up. Patience is a virtue.

Another gloomy start to the day, but I was thankful it rained yesterday evening. The gardens got a good soaking. The flowers seemed to have enjoyed it, especially the newly planted Pansies.

Happy Sunday 🌞

Last day before I have to go back to the day job.

I just thought I would share my Hosta, which has been in flower for the last few weeks. I love the flowers and colour that has bloomed.

Are you a Hosta fan?
