Creative in the garden

Last September I planted these beauties, it’s the first year we’ve had flowers in our back garden. Very excited to see these come up and what stunning colours they are.

This is the greenhouse that Hubby built for me (yes he is pretty creative too Winking smile ) I’d sown some Marigold and Geranium seeds and they did so well, oh yes and Morning Glories too. They were all ready to come out the seed trays and into their own pots. So today I was taking them all out and potting up. I also then sowed more Geraniums (because the first packet had very little in and I want to fill up my window boxes with them this Summer) and I sowed Cosmos too, they are so easy to grow and have a beautiful show in Summer.

So now the greenhouse is full to bursting of plants, about 100 all told wow!

Can’t wait to be able to plant these in the garden! I always grow too many on purpose, 1) because you never know how many will turn out and 2) I LOVE to give plants away! Makes me smile on the inside and blesses others too. Open-mouthed smile

So that’s what I’ve been up to today in the garden, the Open Studio wasn’t a success I guess this gorgeous weather had people elsewhere but hey ho, the good news is I get to put the goodies in my Etsy shop for you to purchase instead!

I’m off to get editing pics and listing, be on the look out!
