Mini Garden Project - Part 2


Here are some follow up photos on my Mini Garden Project. Spring has come early this year, which is lovely. Lots of flowers are coming out and we've spent a few days in the garden already. I put the turf down on Friday. It's only meant to be a temporary solution until we look at the garden after the extension works.

Mini Garden Project


There was a square of space in our garden, near the shed, which I've done nothing to since we moved in other than attempt to grow some peas and beans. I've decided to make this into my latest mini garden project. It's a bit of a shady spot and, believe it or not, even in England we need such a thing sometimes. The fence panel will be replaced soon and I've just started to make a bench from concrete blocks and timber planks. I'll blog about this when it's done. I'm pretty happy with the transformation so far- and with more plants and blue slate it'll look even better!

Here are some before and during photos- it's definitely not finished yet!

And now for the flowers that aren't quite there yet- but here's hoping this weather will continue and they'll grow soon and fill my rather barren flower beds! So in order from top left blueberry tree, decorative grass, giant delphiniums, cerinthe blue kiwi, sea holly, my little veg patch, Himalayan poppies and some hostas and my little herb garden
