@DaisyWings what a great idea!

[DaisyWings (Tina Martin)]

So great when you can make use of ‘stuff’ isn’t it

Whilst it’s not gardening related per se I’m seriously over excited about having just discovered not 1 but 2 hedgehogs in the garden whilst I was locking up. And given how portly one of them was I suspect there might be hoglets at somepoint.

@SashaGarrett, I have 3 come to visit, they have a feeding station and fresh water just outside the patio doors, I know they’re about when the security light goes on, I love watching them.

[DaisyWings (Tina Martin)]

@SashaGarrett @HandcraftedbyPicto We have hedgehog’s too. Last night there were loud huffing noises which apparently they make at mating time so hopefully we’ll see little hoglets too.

Wow, your allotment is stunning!

[beaniehats]

Thank you.

Picking up an early wedding anniversary present tomorrow. We have just bought a 16ft x 8ft second hand greenhouse. Hubby and son have got the joyous job of dismantling it and putting it up again. So excited thinking about what I can grow in it this year.

One of my favourite flowers is Erigeron and I just love it in this repurposed drum . It gives me so much joy.

Talking of hedgehogs …Look what we found this morning, my husband was just starting to clean out a tractor shed, they were under a huge empty seed bag, what a place to be born!! We hastily covered them up again and will leave the tidying up for a while! Thought you would like to see them!

[dotterypottery (Sarah Duke)]

Oh my gosh…I can’t cope with that level of cutenes on a Saturday Morning! What beauties!

I’m so jealous of all of you with hoggie guests! I can’t create a pathway into our garden yet (as I need to keep the bunny in)

That’s a great idea about using the grape containers as propogators Tina @DaisyWings - I’m going to start collecting mine now, ready for next year!

That is a lovely display @TeodoraPaintings x

[dotterypottery (Sarah Duke)]

Have fun in your new greenhouse @beaniehats - hope the re-assembly goes without a hitch x

[ChrisOsbornJewellery (Chris Osborn)]

Oh fantastic @BrambleandBurt, you’re so lucky.

Good luck with the greenhouse @beaniehats

[reladesigns]

Well I’ve nearly done it , finally clear lots of digging of bramble roots to finish (do you know how deep they go) But I have a blank canvas !
Thanks for all the recommendations for a tree , I’ve settled on an elderflower yo start with and maybe a cherry tree when I’ve finalised my plans .

[dotterypottery (Sarah Duke)]

Wow - you have been busy - that looks amazing xx

[ChrisOsbornJewellery (Chris Osborn)]

What a transformation, that must have been hard work.

[DaisyWings (Tina Martin)]

Gorgeous @TeodoraPaintings

Oh my look at those little hoglets, adorable @BrambleandBurt

Great job, you’ve worked hard @reladesigns

I’ve done some more cuttings this afternoon. Now have to wait and see how many take.

Awww, I had no idea hoglets looked like that - so cute!! Lucky you @BrambleandBurt
@reladesigns wow you’ve been so busy - it looks fab! I have sympathy with the bramble roots, they’re an absolute nightmare to dig out. I cleared a load then realised lots are coming under the fence from next door - will have to resort to just snipping them off repeatedly!
Gorgeous rose Tina @DaisyWings

Here’s the opposite border to the one with all the brambles - I love when all the geraniums flower, as do the bees! Although I’m going to have to clear a load after they’ve flowered as they are starting to take over - a right thug of a plant

[DaisyWings (Tina Martin)]

@OrukiDesign The Geranium’s are lovely but yes, you’re right, you have to make sure the don’t spread everywhere.

Just thought I’d share a pic of one of my peonies whilst they’re still in bloom;

[TeodoraPaintings]

First harvest! So rewarding . I can’t wait for more.
