There is never enough thyme

Yep, that's very true!

I never promised you a rose garden

Apparently this will become a lovely pink patio rose in the summer......


Bit prickly for my liking!

You should compost because a rind is a terrible thing to waste

OK, confession time. We don't compost. We have nowhere to put it. Joe's mummy read somewhere they can encourage mice so that was a big no no as we already have little visitors from time to time. And when she was younger her and her sister made some when they lived at home. Never again.... it obviously wasn't done right. It was awful and she will never ever do it again.

On the plus side, we do put all our garden rubbish out for the recycling and they turn it into compost. In the summer we do add our compostable (love that word) waste to the bags. And we do have a water butt, which is my photo for today.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Well obviously I am a joy forever, but I decided to go with these daffodils for today's prompt. They really are lovely and it is a shame they only last for the spring. Considering these get no attention whatsoever from the people in this house, get whacked with footballs etc (you can probably see the evidence!).... they come up looking great year after year.

Scatter seeds of happiness

We were all set to plant the seeds we bought - but Joe's mummy didn't have any compost in the shed, we must have used it all last year. So all I can do is look at the packets for now....


We have other seeds in the garden at the moment though - bird seeds. They are quite liking their new feeding station, but we're still waiting for the goldfinches to make an appearance. Joe's daddy took the tray off today as the big greedy pigeons are sitting in it, scoffing all the food!

Let’s get down and dirty

Luckily not too dirty because as I mentioned in my previous post, not too much work needed here at the moment. Joe's mummy said she would be more than happy for me to help in the garden in a couple of months when hopefully it will look a bit better!

Every garden may have some weeds

I've not spent much time in our garden to be honest, except on some of my extreme sports moments.... The back garden is looking pretty good on the weed front, not many at all. But would you look at this. I think someone needs to do some weeding pronto at the front - there is a wide and varied selection here!
