welcome
Welcome to my new blog (a branch off from www.thewadesblog.blogspot.com)
I have gained the tinyest little postage stamp sized garden, that was a jungle of weeds. Last year we cut back the weeds to start a 'mini' lawn with a few plants. I grew up with a huge garden in norfolk with my VERY green fingered mum and dad, and feel strange with no flowers. When we got a lawn started we discovered the floor was a little 'bumpy'!! so have decided to re turf this year (notice the starting of dug over garden on right)
Last year i planted a few things...this was my hydrangea, which is nicely budding already now and i have cut it back. we planted lots of violas which are getting quite big, and a couple already have flowers this year. And i have high hopes for my buddleja which was planted tiny last year, and has continued to grow through out the winter (right at end of garden on right) There were no plants left in the garden other than a very sad looking rose which i have cut back very hard, i am going to give it lots of love, i hope it flowers this year, would be nice to tell what type it is.

Ooooo Nat, I might have to join you in this garden blogging thing - ours could really do with a spruce up and is, honestly, completely junglefied (and its bigger meaning a LOT of jungle to hack through!) Bet you're better at gardening than me though - I kill everything ... or if I don't the slugs do aaarrrggggh!!! ~ Sarah
Looking forward to watching your garden grow :o)
that's a lovely colour hydrangea. Mine has never flowered in 3 years, not sure where i'm going wrong. Think i'll try moving it...
