The weather is so lovely here just now, sunny and warm, and perfect for pottering in the garden.

As promised to some people, pictures of my garden, greenhouse etc.

Our little greenhouse ♥ It's just a nice size for that part of the garden, leaving just enough room for some containers at the side and a small, sunny paved/gravelled area between the window and the greenhouse. We've got milk crates there that make excellent seats, and once I've washed Tex's cushion I intend to leave it there for outside sitting. I thought it would be a nice way to remember him and the cushion is easily put inside if it rains.

A close up of that area. Pretty much everything we use to garden is recycled. The pots are old flower buckets we got for free from a local flower shop and of course, milk crate seats and the old TV unit that makes a perfect work area.

This is what I've planted today. It's a bush we bought to remember Tex. Hopefully it'll grow.

Inside the greenhouse. Right now we're growing tomatoes, courgettes, radishes, salad leaves, a cucumber, chilli pepper, sweet peppers, basil, beans, spring onions, bell peppers, and assorted flowers.

Beans. Which will be going outside soon, ready to climb up the wall.

Two containers of onions with mint in the middle.

You can just see the onions starting to grow.

And finally, this is the other part of our garden, which is a weird cut off triangle shape with that stupid brick shed in the middle. That's drift wood we brought home from the beach.
