I've reached the pottering stage..

Thanks for sharing Lincs, love your recycling, and all your plants look great !

wow cant believe your roses are in bloom already, mine are just buds. You have got so many tomato plants!! ive only got 2 this year, im downsizing lol. Your garden looks amazing, ive done the same as you with an old wheelbarrow, they dont seem to last long these days without falling apart! I remember my old dad had his wheelbarrow for 30 years!! You have done great in your garden, well done:-)))

Smashing, Lincs!
It is nice at this time of year, when all the hard work is done.I'm so relieved when my veg patch is all planted(as I put in my blog the other day) Now, it's mainly watering , dead heading, feeding and(hopefully, he says with fingers crossed) harvesting!!!!
I love those little kiddies wheelbarrows.Everytime I see them and the small tools in the garden centres etc, I say to Julie I wish I had a little grandchild to buy them for....but, one day, maybe!!!

Wow,that garden is alive and living,lived in and used.Lucky you now having more time to enjoy it.
Great to use old bits and pieces and a little thought isn`t it.....the older the better .Combined with the right plants anything can come alive and evokes a feel of contentment and tranquillity.Almost as if it has finally discovered it`s place in life.
Definitely my kind of environment.And oooh how I wish I had a greenhouse and could get involved in all that sowing and growing ....one day maybe,eh?

lovely pics, thanks for sharing.

have you decided what colour to paint the tyre yet? or even decided on going for contrast or complement? most painted tyres I've seen have been white, which is effective but rather unimaginative ...

Fran I've added another pic, it now has its first coat and definitely not white,lol..

All change today folks, its been blooming cold and no sunshine at all, I had to get my fleece when outside, mind you I have caught up with my indoor jobs..

Lovely plants I like the barrow I decided to do the same with our old barrow but its a full size one so I need more compost!! Oh and more plants lol

I have overdone the seed sowing again S'killa so far too many plants here, thats why I'm filling anything I can lay my hands on.

Plenty of seedling Lincs - I'm sure you wont run short of tomatoes!!
Your barrow looks great, as does your recycled tyre. Enjoy your pottering!

The tyre planter is on the yard in the dogs play area, its no good buying nice planters for in there, between them they manage to destroy most things in their own space but its nice to have a bit of colour..

Nice that you had a good potter around, it was very rewarding by the look of it ~ especially like the little red wheelbarrow, its certainly earned its keep.

Nothing like a good potter... is there, ive done a lot of that lately. Love your tyre planters great idea...

Nice to see your tomatoes are coming along, and the garden tour - very enjoyable :o) Well I like your planter. I wish I'd kept my tyres when I moved. I got rid of about 6 of them.
Isn't this weather wonderful ! I hope it lasts a long time for us :o)

I'll check out the new pic, thanks

Its been grand again today, bit chilly in the shade but its better for gardening that way.
Hywel I got fedup of asking Derek to get rid of them, he's panicking now in case I halfinch something else of his, lol....
