About Me
I started this blog in 2008 to record how my garden developed, it quickly became a gardening journal and I have loved it every since. I am passionate about horticultre despite working in higher education administration. However now, 2013, I want to re-engage with my early hobbies of sewing, knitting and crochet so this blog will start to have a wider range of entries that aren't all garden related.
I love reading your comments and I do hope you enjoy the blog.

Very beautiful if fleeting, something to enjoy in someone else’s garden. Christina
I do love peonies and half of mine bloomed…need to check the others…I think they are buried too deep after adding amendments to the garden…yours is a lovely flower!!
Mine are no where near flowering yet. One is in too much shade and I just don’t know about the other one. Will have to keep coming back to look at yours.
Oh they arent my peonies – they are growing in a garden I visited at the weekend. The ones that have opened in my garden are sad and soggy
Yvonne – NZ – Peonies bloom in Nov for me to BUY some for my birthday!!! They come from the South Island. Managed to bring a HUGE bunch of 25 back from Christchurch last Nov – from a grower just around the road from my sister. Caused much comment on the plane!! Just discovered a red tulip out in bloom – from last years bulbs – a bit early as usually flower August/September. Hope you are not getting the rain that Wales – been on our tele – poor things!
Alongside roses, peonies are one of natures beautiful flowers. Such a pity they don’t last all summer but when in bloom they are magnificent. Thank you for your slide show.
