Part of front garden

what a lovely view

you have a beautiful garden!

Wow what a gorgeous garden, it looks so spacious you can fit my front garden in a shoe box lol

I was going to say wow too Spritz as you really do have a lovely garden.

I'm running behind again so have taken to just saying I like instead of commenting. Thank you for showing us around your garden. I have enjoyed seeing how it is all blooming.

Thanks- I do appreciate your lovely comments! :-))

shee! the only thing greener than your garden is me, sitting here looking at it! There must be a hell of a lot of work gone into that idyllic scene.

you and me both, Pansy - and in my case without taking the shoes out first!

stunning view :)))))

Thanks - this is about half the front garden, then there's the side garden and a small back garden - so I do have my work cut out, you see! :-))

Wow! What a picture....that is sort of 'heavenly' B! :))

It's what I look at from my bedroom window seat every morning. :-))

I feel a blog coming on...

It is so romantic B....just a perfect country garden. :)

You see it through different eyes, of course. I do love it though, as you well know. :-))

:) me too!

That was why I wondered whether a 'tour' of the whole garden might be interesting for you? I can't get very many 'elevated' views though, because there aren't any upstairs windows on the side of the house.

Yes, we all would! :D

That is beautiful - but it looks like an awful lot of work!

It sure is, Gattina! But as I love it, it's worth it.

what's really depressing is when you see a garden that's used for growing weeds, or is used as the local rubbish dump; one can understand that some people can't garden, through physical condition, work or temperament, but even getting the council to cut the grass once a year would be something!

A different set of priorities, I guess, Fran. But it' such a waste of an opportunity to have beautiful surroundings and therapy! I can think of people who would be all too grateful for outside space. I think we should count ourselves lucky to have the means and the mindset (No, I don't necessarily mean money) and the inspiration of people like Spritz.

Thank you - and I do know what you mean. When I walk around our little hamlet, I'm amazed at the state of some of the so-called 'gardens'. Such a wasted opportunity!

When I lived on the 7th floor, I could look out over all those jungles, and I could have wept - and did a bit, in fact! But I don't think they'd have taken kindly to someone knocking on their door and offering to do up their garden for them.

You'd have had a full-time job, anyway, if they'd taken you up on your offer! ;-z

lol indeed, and it'd probably be, "thanks for doing our garden, now push off!"

Well, your reward would have been seeing the results of your handiwork, wouldn't it. How I'd love to get going on next door's so-called 'garden'! (sigh).

Wonderful views, you really do have your work cut out and heres me fretting about a few square metres!! Inspirational !!! X I agree it is sad to see gardens go to waste, just cutting the grass doesn't take long. My local school now has a community garden that is really taking off! Community gardening is the way forward. I've been offered the use of mr 2 doors ups neglected greenhouse tonight!! He's not as fit as he used to be and has turfed over a few veg beds. He's seen me potting about and said its doing nothing he would like to see it in use, think I will cheer his front garden up for him in return, and it will be an asset to the community garden!

There you are, you see, gardening is a wonderful thing - soul therapy and social enabler. It's a wonderful way to make friends and improve one's environment, too. All round wonder medicine!

Good for you, Magnadoodle. I'm so pleased to hear that, it'll make a bug difference to your area. :-))

I contacted the vicar of the church round the corner to suggest a communal garden project, I've got dozens of packets of seeds that I can't use otherwise: he said he'd get back to me - but as that was about three months ago and I've not heard yet ...

And you probably won't, either.:o(

What a waste. :-(

ah well, any day now there'll be a list of seeds going spare on Goy ...

Well, I haven't sown any this year, so I have plenty too!

LOoking forward to seed day .... Really want some coleanth and aquilegia for next year, will o a blog of our community garden over next few days x

Cerinthe not coleanth....that's a fish ( I think)

I'll save you some seeds from mine.

I'll try to remember not to "tidy up" and keep the seed heads on my aquilegia until I can collect some for you. Anyone out there got any white ones?

Yes, me! :-))

You know I've always liked you, Spritz............;o)

Thank you :)

Absolutely gorgeous! Yes, please to a virtual tour.

I did one of the front garden, and I'm working on part 2. :-))
