Garden Looking Pretty through the Window!

Other

What is happening to the weather at the moment, I think I need to start planting more spring/autumn flowers, as I prep my garden for entertsining/enjoying the outside space for the summer and this year's its a rarity I get to spend the day out there....instead a quick glimpse at my beautiful flowers and get back inside before it rains!!!

Anyone else feel like they are missing their garden this year?

Sarahvwomble oh dear, gardens are such constant work, I swear sometimes weeds pop back up as I move along the flowerbed de-weeding. I think i would have more than a sea of nettles in 3 years. 🙃

I must admit that as long as the grass is cut and the bushes are trimmed we don't bother about the garden. It is a place for our son to play and have fun.

MrsCraig mine is split into two. One full of footballs, goals, trampoline etc and then my quiet area where I grow my veg and flowers that the ball can't destroy!

I’m pleased with the garden this years. It’s lush and that’s down to all the rain we’ve had. Bumper year for beans too.

My daughter has taken over my greenhouse this year as I have been working more. She has done really well and we have a lovely display of flower plus she has been growing lettuces from a lettuce, peppers and strawberries from our own seeds which are all doing really well.

vixe80 They were never interested when they were younger but my daughter is 22 and suddenly got this urge to start growing things, forgot to mention the tomatoes and also she has grown pumpkins from seeds and the plants are enormous already.

Yes. Mine is ruined as the weather hasn't been great so I've not kept on top of it. The joys of the British Summer!

MelissaLee1 - I love that. I must admit I did have to do potting up in the rain, as my poor plants were desperate and it was relaxing
