We’ve been living here a year now.

Here’s what the garden looked like this time last year. We soon got some turf put down so we wouldn’t be living in a mud bath all winter, and carved out some beds.

(Treating plants to a slow-release seaweed feed in spring supports their initial growth).






They’ve resulted in tiny poppies which last around a day or two at most. Gorgeous.

This variety is called ‘Goldkind’.

I’m looking forward to another gardening year, and to learning much more about plants and how to care for them. Here’s hoping some birds visit this autumn/winter, too (so far the singular sighting I’ve made is of a partridge running along the grass!)
Which plants are you especially loving in your garden lately? I’d love to hear.
Wishing you a happy weekend.
Until next time,
