H is for Horticulture

:)

So, if G hadn't already been taken, it would have been for Gardening.  But Plan B was set into action, and Horticulture is what I came up with.

I'm new to my little garden.  Not new to gardening, but this is the first year I have had here with my own little plot of earth to tend,

I did grow some bits and bobs in pots last year..one success was the lupins...I decided on Sunday that they really needed to come out of the pot and become a part of my garden.


This lovely clump of lupins quite easily and naturally divided into 3 smaller clumps......and ended up living here in the bed by the trellis.

(The trellis is a new addition to the garden...just a few weeks ago, the landlord had the really ramshackle old shed pulled down, and the trellis went up in its' place. :)  )


I'm not sure where the concrete "thing" came from..something to do with the deceased shed, I expect, but it fitted in the corner there really well...had to roll it to get it there though! :)  And it has the perfect hole to hold up my little gardening fairy girl!


On the other side of the garden I have a small lavender planted, some chives, a couple of pansies and I put a pot of rosemary there also. Mum gave me the rosemary...my parents are planning a move soon, so I guess she was/is thinking of clearing out.

Hey...if clearing out means I inherit your plants, I'll go along with you any day of the week! :)


 There's more work to do...always work in a garden.  But I love it.  I don't wear gloves often, preferring to get dirt all over me..mucky pup that I am.

It's just a lovely pastime which is peaceful and soothing to me...

  1. It's looking lovely. Wish it was warm enough to go into our garden here in Leicester UK.

  2. What a beautiful little garden you're creating! This post made me smile because it's been awhile since I've played "dig in the dirt" and I love it. Last year I got in two boxes of flowers at the base of our two small trees, and a planter around the rural mailbox. This year I'd like to put in some flowering bushes at least. We live in West Texas where everything is hot, brown, and dry, so a bit of brightness is a definite spirit lifter!
