Back garden

A lovely view of your garden and such a well cared for lawn!

I wish my plot was as neat as yours, Linda. Looking good.

Agree, all looking very neat and pretty too! Lush lawn and lovely colours!

Thankyou Wildrose, Anget and Kate. We only have a small garden but I love it. The little bees have just hatched and are flying just in time to fertilise the blossom.

I love those flower-filled pots!

Thanks Sheila, They have bloomed all through the winter. I have fed them a couple of times with tomato feed. We've taken the cloche off the peas now and have put a net across to stop the pigeons and sparrows having a go at them.

You have a beautiful garden Linda. Will you open for the RHS open garden scheme this year?

Thank you very much for your kind comment HB. I used to open the garden when we had East lodge, down the road, for different causes, but I didn't do it for RHS, I did it on my own, and several of the lovely neighbours we had used to come and help with several friends as well. I did let people round the garden up here once, when the Belper in bloom did a scheme.

I love the NGS gardens too … we have several who open in our town, and there was a lovely one open on Easter Monday. Friends made cakes, the owner sold plants and she had 165 visitors. I saw many people I know too, so it was a very sociable afternoon.

That's good to hear Sheila. So nice when friends come together and help out, and it's a real treat for the people who visit.

Yes, of course, I remember it was during the Belper in Bloom that we visited your lovely garden.
