My new garden

I moved house recently and so thought I’d do a blog to introduce my new garden. I haven’t been able to do much yet but I love it already, so that’s a good start : )
This is the larger of two Bottlebrushes. Both are in need of some attention, but have new growth coming through both from the base and higher up so I’m hoping that with a bit of TLC they’ll be ok.
This lot are looking rather squashed though – there’s a tree peony, buddlea and philadelphus all competing for space in this corner:
The greenhouse (with a vine growing in it – but that’s for another blog!) is pretty old and needs a good clean, but I’ve never had a greenhouse before so I think it’s great : ) There’s also a very cute little bird box just above the door, although no-one’s nesting in it this year (but I suspect it might need a clean out too):
And a sunny patio for sitting and thinking about everything I need to do…
So that’s my garden so far! Thanks for looking : )

It's just lovely :o) and that greenhouse is fantastic. You'll be able to grow such a lot in there. Good luck with sorting the place out ...

Thanks for all your nice comments :) I'm really looking forward to getting out there and doing a bit more - at the moment everything is growing so fast I can't keep up with it!

Thanks TT, there's so much I want to do but at the moment I need those blue skies to come back!! At least all this rain is giving the outside of the greenhouse a bit of a clean ;o)

It looks great Geranium...So spacious after having a yard as well. The previous owners left some nice plants for you. :)

Oh Pimpernel it's such a difference from the yard! I was surrounded on 3 sides by 3 storey buildings and now I have grass and soil and I can see greenery and sky all around me - I love it :)))))
