I have been browsing some seed catalogues too and will sit down and make a detailed plan of the various ideas and thoughts I have for the garden - but whilst the weather is okay I will continue working outside. I have been working on the dry stone wall -
Here is a before and after....just a small preview! The hens use this wall to get into the field next door to our drive - hence the chippings being flicked onto the drive. I have counted about 20 alpine plants which I have planted into the wall - plenty room for some more, infact I bought another 4 today! Rude not to!
Needless to say once the gals detected I was weeding they came along to help!
Looking back on just one week I can see my EFFORTS are paying off, or should that be our efforts, myself and the gals....egg production is up too!

Good show, Denise! You're very organized, I must say. Even Lorne (who loves gardening and is always puttering around) hasn't organized his pots so well. Have a great week,

That is more successful plant labelling than Husband's I can assure you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! Now, I want to do something like that. But, then I'm enthusiastic more in my dreams than in my doing. Still, I never know. I could do a small something with bricks and have plants grow out of them.
