Being first time home owners there are a lot of firsts that come along. Today I pruned the entire hedgerow that lines our small front yard, a first for me and a surprisingly good workout too. I had to stand on this stool to reach the top and there were a couple of times I almost fell into the hedges. I was happy to see that after an hour of working the hedgerow looked much more tidy than it did before – and no big gaping holes in the hedges either (I was a bit worried about that)!
Next we’ll have to buy some twine for the vines next to our front porch, they have grown very tall very fast and are now creeping along the wall. The hedges and the vines seem to be the only plants flourishing on our yard, our flower bed is looking quite sad. I’m hoping that next year we’ll be able to focus more on the yard, this summer it wasn’t in our budget. What about you, have you been working in the garden lately?
Most of the weekend it rained, now the sun is thankfully out again. Today I planted these little plants in a hanging basket on the back terrace. I hope they enjoy their new home.
We’ve spent two afternoons working in our tiny backyard. We made a little flower bed and planted some flowers, we’ll plant some seeds for more flowers soon. The weather here has been amazing, so warm and sunny. This evening Minna baked simple butter and sugar buns, what a delicious end to a lovely relaxing weekend at home. How was your weekend?
Most of our tiny garden is still covered in snow but in the kitchen little flowers are already growing.
I like to take little cuttings from the bigger succulent plants and try to make new plants – sometimes it works, sometimes I just end up killing the little things. The little one in the white pot is one I cut some time ago and it’s doing well, so just the other day I planted two more. Let’s wish them luck! Have a lovely weekend – I hope it’s a sunny one!
