i am so lucky

I have been doing lots of potting up today, sitting outside my greenhouse, and look what I see as I do it!


And from a bit further back



I must cut the grass this afternoon!
And as i come in for a cup of tea, this is my new terrace:

 

nice rural view Liz, the envy of some of us

 

Oh Liz... tis a lot bigger than my little patch. :D

 

150' long and 16' wide- mostly grass! I get a bit of exercise just going to the greenhouse. Cottage is tiny though, only 5 small rooms. When I came the garden was 2/3 grass and 1/3 shoulder high weeds and rubbish. How's yours doing? Are you having grass or something else?

 

Nice to be able to see over the roof tops to the hills beyond Liz.

 

Nice Liz......Looks like a nice solid wooden stairway to a deck......
Slug free Hostas........
Gorgeous fluffy cat.....Name?
Whats the red leaved plant in the black pot?

 

Slug free so far with the aid of copper tape round the pot, alpine grit in the pot and aluminium sulphate sprinkled on the grit- works as long as nothing overhangs them so slugs can climb across.
Fluffy cat is my little fluffy dog Bud- for cat see latest posting in non gardening!
The red plant is Fuschia Autumnale hardening off after winter in the green house- it's growing really red this year.
I'm told decking is no longer the in thing, but I couldn't manage any more grass, and i didn't want concrete.
