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.

I chose the very same one for a winter pot! They are like happy faces to me too; and they always make me smile. Christina
I love violas always have happy faces and not so brash as pansies
I always have some of these little viola’s, they are sooo cute !!!
They are so, so cheerful. One of nature’s happy flowers!
They look so perky in a late fall pot. Mine are alternating between drooping when the temperatures drop too low, and popping up again when it warms.
I love pansies, especially the smaller ones with the little faces.
Love them too! Great photo Helen. I was pleased I could re-plant & save some of these from the dustbin last weekend.
I love violas too and will grow them again from seed this year although I will start them sooner and plant them deeper.
