THE GARDENERS' YEAR ~ a circle of life....

What a wonderful Blog TT. A year long run down of all Goyers Pics.

have their photos shown by you. What a lot of Talent we have on GOY

adorable as usual......really enjoyed this blog TT thanks!!!

Hi Holly... Truffle says thank you. He wants to know... since he's been wearing that red hat since November.... will it soon be time swap it for a sun hat ? ;o)

lol..TT.... tell Truffle i think he looks very smart in his red hat and its far to cold yer to change to a sun hat.... ( tell Truffle sorry i fogot his name , must be my brain so cold from a walk to the shops in the cold N/East winds..... : O )))

Forgot to say TT... your first pic is brill.... those flowerpot people make me laugh...

you are really clever TT I really enjoyed both the poetry and the photos thanks

Hi Holly...
Looks like the Flower Pot People are planning to order some good plants this year..... Keep an eye on Bill and Ben. Lol.

Truffle has taken your advice, and decided to wear his red hat for a few more weeks yet..Lol. :o)

Hi Helen.. Thanks..
I get inspired to write by the fantastic photos from the GoY members.
It would be tough to do it without the pictures to put the words in my head. LOL.
Pleased you enjoyed the poem and pics. :o)

I nominate TT for Poet Laureate - move over Carol Ann Duffy!
This is brilliant, TT, you certainly have a way of matching words to pictures. Hope you have lots of lovely weather to do all you want to in your garden.

Thanks Gee...
I'm lucky to have access to so many pictures :o)
Yes, once the weather gets warmer it's not easy to keep me indoors...I'll be working on lots of garden projects.... I hope the sun is drying out your garden.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday cutting back grasses, etc in the front garden so it looks tidier but colourless and bare! The ground is still very squidgy so I am hoping for a continuation of the dry, sunny weather :)

If you've cut back the grass etc. that will get air in and hopefully help everything to dry out... I think a sunny day is forecast for tomorrow :o)

lovely blog Terra, enjoyed every verse and picture, you always make it seem so easy, well done you :o))

Thanks Sandra...
Great pic of yours with the bee on the marigold. :o) x

aww cheers Terra , so kind :o)) xx

That was fantastic Terra, I thoroughly enjoyed your journey through the year. Great pics from all the GOY members. :o)

Thanks Sandra..
I was lucky when writing this to have such a superb choice of photos from GoY.
So kind of everyone to allow their pix to be included :o)

Just a great blog. Thanks TT.

Thank you Toto. :o) x

Another cheery blog Tt, you certainly have the knack (is that how it's spelt?) of making me smile and apart from enjoying the pretty pics and verse, I loved the first one of the FPP....brilliant..how do you get them to pose?:-))

Hi Bornagain...
Thank you... the FPP keep sneaking in, don't they.
Those same three FPP are in my recent GoY photo, hiding behind the Cadbury Parrots...
... we must keep on the alert at all times... Lol. :o)

I love that pic, I have it in favourites:-)

Once again you`ve risen to the occasion and given us in rhyme and pictures a reminder of all things bright and beautiful in the gardening calender. Hope you, Conker and Truffle will soon be wearing your Sun hats and enjoying the garden,

Thank you, Bornagain.. ..
...on behalf of myself and other chocoholics ;o) x

Hi Stroller...
Thank you..
Have you been gardening today ?
I was out in my back garden with Conker and Truffle ... lots to do in lovely sunshine.
The Erigeron is just starting to show signs of life, so I'll send you some when it gets stronger... :o) x

I went a bit mad today with the pruning saw and secateurs:-)

I just LOVE this blog!
Only a hard-core gardener can appreciate it!

You`ve done it again Terra, loved it as usual, especially the two very handsome lads.......Although your poetry will be missed I know myself and other Goy members will allow you a break from poetry as long as we get to see and hear of your gardening and especially pics of your beautiful boys........Not forgetting Crocus the budgie....XX

very nice and clever poetry terra! you must spend hours at the computer lol
Better get some gardening done now!

Regards, Mick

Hi Mick...
Thanks for visiting my blog...
Pleased you like the poetry...
I can't wait to get out in the garden more...
Rather cold this week, but as soon as the weather warms up, it will be difficult to persuade me to stay indoors ! :o)

TT, what a brilliant blog! Lovely poem as ever...Thank you very much! xx

Hello Uma...
Many thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed this blog. xxx

It is now on the new GoYpedia category...
... "Gnomes" :o)

Wow TT, sorry I missed this, brilliant photos, it is a hard job picking a favourite. As for the poem, now I know why I don't bother to write any, how on earth could I compete with yours. Lovely TT, you have worked very hard on it as always.

Hi Bob...
Thanks....yes ...
... there are some wonderful photos from the GoY members....
I'm sure you could write poetry too. :o)

Loved it --- you are so clever. Who managed to get the dog to stand still for a photograph while wearing the red hat? It has an expression that says, "How long do you intend to take here?"

that was class

Thanks Linda and Dave...
My dogs love wearing hats... they elbow each other out of the way so they can be first to try anything new. Lol.

Coulodnt think of a better way to spend the entire year TT Brilliant thanks......

Hi Milky...
Thank you... Glad you like this blog :o)

Another brilliant blog, TT! :-) I loved all the photos & the way you combine everything with rhyme! What more can I say that nobody else hasn't said already?

Thanks, Balcony...
Pleased you enjoyed the poems and pics :o)

That's a great blog Terra -very original, Conker is a fine specimen -looks really cute :-)

Hi Richard ..
Conker says thank you... :o)

Great blog Tt! See - I'm slowly catching up LOL

Thanks. Pip..
Wow you must be awarded a special trophy for reading all my previous blogs... Lol.

What shall we call your award .... ? ;o)
