What have I been up to lately? Learning to bake sourdough bread, discovering the joys of board games and making a start on doing up the garden.
Here's what I've managed so far, using a lot of stuff I found out there (salvaged brick, an old stump, some flower pots I brought from the flat).
It takes a lot to fill a garden, but only a little to start to make it feel welcoming. This is just the beginning -- the shed arrives next week -- and I'm going to paint it like a beach hut!

Brand new grow tables (ignore the junk, that's going) |

a £2 watering can |

Faery altar from found stump and stones (that's our leftover Yule tree) |
It's looking GREAT, Carla!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThank you for giving us a peek into you garden. It looks so colorful!
ReplyDeleteI am completely in love with this shade of very hot pink on this shed, for example:

It's either that or this lime green with purple trim and red door:

Love the colour! And the owl :D And especially the faery altar ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chloe. :)
DeleteLove it! Nothing like creating your own garden "world".
ReplyDeleteIt's really enjoyable. I like having such a small space (in comparison to the American 'yards' I used to have) -- it makes it feel much more doable, and really, you don't need more than just a patch. :)
DeleteLove the park bench and all of the pretty flowers. The owl is rather cute too
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers have given up the ghost -- being winter flowers. Now I need to either get new bedding plants for summer or just not bother. Hm.
