This is my new fruit patch......in my head there's strawberries in the tin bath, raspberries agains the fence. A couple of blueberries perhaps, rhubarb maybe. Plotting and planning.
 
Inspired, always inspired, by the wonderful and marvellous gardens, created by Madelief and Mia. Go have a look for yourself if you've not visited before.....you'll be inspired too.
 
Have I mentioned I'm happy?
 
If you need me, I'll be in the garden......

  12. My day yesterday reads very close to yours, mine did not have a wheelbarrow or a wonderful zinc bath. I did have sewing and foundation paper square cutting on mine. An altogether fun day for both.

  15. you have done well, that's a huge patch of garden! I love the fact you can see the seeds in the packets, isn't that a nice touch? also the tin bath looks fun, you could drill some holes in the bottom and line with stones first. X

  16. Oh you're doing so well - bet it feels good to be outside! It'll be so lovely seeing it transform. I need to get out in the garden too, but not this week - totally overdid it last week and I'm paying for it now.... No matter, plenty of other things to do!

  21. love your tin bath - we inherited an old bath (not tin, sadly) with our allotment which we plan to make into a pond to encourage frogs and toads ....have a lovely weekend!

    1. Think that's a brilliant idea.....I'm tempted myself to make a little pond, in the hope the frogs help with slug control, blooming things eat everything I try to grow! ;) xxx
