We've both been out in the garden so much recently which normally would have been the best thing int he world but I feel we've both gone a little stir crazy, holed up here just digging and getting stones out of the ground. However, I walked around the garden today and realised how much we've done in just over a year. Yes, we've thrown quite a lot of money at it but we've also worked very hard. The ground is heavy with stones and pebbles, the clay soil needs sand digging into it and not every plant is responding to the love I've lavished on it but for the most part it's repaying me tenfold. The buds of the roses are fat and promising, the alliums are bursting forth with a firework-like globe of tiny heads and an early foxglove is nodding it's delight at being out in the sunshine.
For now we'll be taking a short break and will let the garden do the talking.
