The first crocus to come up

It sounds like you're having a great time getting to know this new garden of yours.

It's a new hobby and I'm really getting into it.Didn't have a garden before and I'm like a child with a new toy! I don't like the standard hamster on a wheel type exercise so this is ideal for me, interesting, fun and burns off the calories!

Couldn't agree more - this type of exercise is a lot more fun. Not only that, but it's a hobby that never gets dull or becomes uninteresting - there's always something to learn and something new to try.

Absolutely agree with you there. I'd much rather be out getting exercise in the garden than anywhere else. I love the tortoise. :o)

Did you discover the tortoise left by the previous owners ?
Nice ornament :o)

Ooooh Treasure. :))

Yes it was buried under the foiliage in the back garden. I also found a bucket, several plant pots, a window box type thing and a few bricks ??
