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.

Absolutely gorgeous plant and wonderful picture. I’m not familiar with it so I will go on line and check it out.
Lovely clear yellow, very pretty.
That is rather lovely:)
How beautiful ! I have lost count of how many did not do well for me.
I bought one of these at the plant fair you came up to. Not looking good at all. Not the plants fault though. When I took it out of it’s pot to plant it, there was hardly any root. Obviously sold before it should have been. Just hope it survives the winter and is as gorgeous as yours next year.
Helen ~ this is one of the BEST photos I’ve seen of the wax bells. I wish mine were still in bloom ~ you’ve inspired me to try harder next year!
I admire how you are always pushing yourself to try new things!
p.s. You are anything but a failure even trying to knit! I wouldn’t have a clue so I think you did awesome.
