Ive been hiding away for a while, mainly exploring my amazing pc-like phone!! Ive felt guilty about not doing anything in the garden but when I heard the weather was finally guna pick up I thought well probably just as well. Heres the sorry looking state of the back at the moment
Planted the lilies and ptilotus next to the tradescantia from meanie x
SHINY!! Found this while I was digging, maybe it was a decoration at some point its more like a seashell than a garden snail shell
these are one of the mystery plants that I came to believe were calendula but are they gaillardia?
Well, hopefully more colour to come, at least I can get on with more digging now I can make a compost bin when it dries up. ive also got a few black bags of pots to look through I got from freegle!
Right back to wine and catching up!…i may go on a bit lol :-P

You have a very neat and tidy garden, but perhaps its dominated by the lawn? One secret for small gardens is the bigger the beds/planting the bigger it looks. Dont be afraid to be bold Leigh.

Your garden doesn't look too bad. At least it's tidy.
Good luck with making it more colourful.
Compost will be handy for you. It's lovely when you make it yourself :o)

Your pics are great Leigh, hope the weather stays fine for you so you can get that bin made, glad you are enjoying the new phone, I dread having to get a new one, it took me long enough to learn how to use the one I`ve got now, lol....
