Little Fella

11 July 2012 22:02:31

One of the reasons we moved to the country was to be closer to the nature, get healthier food and let the kids run free... what can i say- kids are free, veg are slow and the nature is hard on us- birds eat my berries, slugs finished veg, bunnies damaged fruit trees... hmm the dream went wrong a bit..But these little fellas cheers me up...They are so cute, and great to see them in the garden.. 

happy gardening to you all 

Joan's secret

11 July 2012 21:38:45

i Dont know how did Joan managed to keep this secret from us... she has fantastic garden with tidy lawn, beautiful flowers and plants, glass house filled with tomatoes and cuttings. and the dinner table was just perfect, thank you for the cake. my brother really enjoyed it... thank so much for pensemon and the butterfly bush, so looking forward to plant them.

It just shows that the garden is a creation and does not matter size, location or style..
