Hi Guys,
Back at work this week thursday and friday and thats enough, i couldnt go back to full time again, think it would kill me haha,
Anyway feeling more myself at the moment so i want to get going in the garden this weekend weather permiting.
So iv had a look at jobs to be done, firstly i want Baz to help clear behind the garage as iv noticed its become a dumping ground again which i do not like near my decking area which i use to have my breakfast when the sun shines here in blackpool.
So once thats clear im going to place all the spare rocks and pebbles on that area as its already got small stones there, then place some pots and maybe an orniment just to brighten behind the garage,
so if it turns out ok will take a few pics and show you.
Anyway just had a look around to see what weeds have to come out and took a couple of pics of whats nice in the garden at the moment, oh and the Lawn needs a cut to"BAZ" haha


Acer orange dream, mrs Gregorys bluebells(a client of mine gave me before she died) remind me of her when they open, and not sure of name of the little red flowers, given by a GOYer friend, so pretty


my red acers leaves beginning to unfold which gets better each year, think its about 10 years old now, also my pond just about planted up now, and last pics i had to show you my neighbours clem on her shed which is amazing every year, it even grew into our garage last year haha, anyway a busy weekend ahead and hope to get some pots planted to,
happy gardening friends:o))

So pleased to hear you are feling better Sandra, but take it slowly a little at time. Your garden pictures are beautiful Orange Dream is a dream would love one ! the little scarlet flower is I thing Fragaria [from the strawberry family] its so easy to take cuttings of and a good plant for the front of the border, I think Amy sent me mine. Your pond is looking lovely really looks established now. Enjoy your weekend and hope the weather gets warmer;0)

4 May, 2012

 

Garden looking good San, and the pond is lovely. The red flower looks like a strawberry to me judging by the leaves as well, but similar to potentilla to look at.

4 May, 2012

4 May, 2012

The little red flowers look a bit like a strawberry plant San?...I had red flowered ones a few years ago...:>)

4 May, 2012

 

Looking good Sandra, that flower cetainly looks like STRAWBERRY to me as well, love your Acer's.
Have a good weekend you two, don't work to hard there's alway's another day.....

4 May, 2012

 

Looks very good Sanbaz. The pond is lovely and i see fish in it ? .

4 May, 2012

 

Pleased you are feeling better San, the pond looks a treat and is filling out well, its very similar to the one we did in my daughters garden last year, except she has a waterfall as well, its surprising how soon they become established.
I love your Acer, I lost mine a couple of years back and its on my most wanted list, mind you I don`t know where it would go, definitely would be kept in a pot this time.
Hope you get a good weekend so you can sort out your untidy area, I have one of those but mines hidden away near the compost makers at the back of my bottom pond, cannot be seen unless one is really nosey, lol, take care and don`t overdo things....
The garden pics are lovely...

4 May, 2012

 

All looking good Sandra. Hope the weather is fair or you this weekend.

4 May, 2012

 

Love you pond San. Sorry I've been away from GoY for a few months sorry to hear you have been unwell hope your feeling better.
Hugs Sue

Your garden is looking great San, yes the little red flower is a type of strawberry plant, I used to have lots a few years ago, and the strawberries are only small but really yummy!
Take care and take things little by little...if only we had some sun to brighten us it would help....:o)) X

4 May, 2012

Your pond looks great now.

5 May, 2012

 

It's funny how garages and the like just keep filling up. You clear them out, they look nice and tidy and then before you're even aware of it...they're full of stuff again!!

The garden's looking great, San. The pond is perfect there and looking lovely all planted up. :)

5 May, 2012

Hi Sand, good to see your blog and pics - you are sounding very cheerful and its great that you are getting back into gardening (and tidying up ) mode!

I hope you have some decent weather - ours is strange - a nice day then an awful one etc. Cant believe its almost June :(

8 May, 2012

 

Glad you are well enough to get out into the garden again. The pond looks as though its been finished for ages! Look after yourself.

8 May, 2012

 

Hope you had a good weekend and the weather stayed fine for you. The back of my garage was becoming the same so i refurbished it to stop myself putting stuff there. Love your acer i would buy one a day every day if i could lol.

8 May, 2012
