Green Fingered

I never was one for gardening. At the old house, we had a medium sized garden and a large patio area. For me, the entire thing could have been patio'ed. I was once bought a herb wheel, thinking I could keep it alive, but no :( I kept the pot though, as I will re-plant something in it.

Mr H likes being in the garden, he loves a good BBQ in the good weather. 

At the new house, I decided I would like to become more green-fingered. We are lucky, as we have moved to a house where the previous owner appears to have loved the garden. There are lovely plants popping up everywhere. So, I planted my veggies. I now have a variety of veggies growing in my kitchen, waiting to be transferred to the greenhouse Mr H built for me. 

I haven't photographed my Chives and Rocket, and the Potatoes, Raspberries and Blueberries are still waiting to be planted - Needed to wait til after the last frost. 

I love to read, and at the moment am really enjoying Annie Groves books, which are all related to the war and how people lived then, with rations etc. I already have a love for vintage/retro - 1940s and 1950s. I spoke to my Gran who says she can recall her Mum growing vegetables in the front garden of their cottage. It's lovely to think that I may be able to grow vegetables in the same way that my Great Grandma did. 

I love all seasons ... I love the colours that Spring, Summer and Autumn bring. I am enjoying seeing daffodils popping up in the garden, and have had 4 bunches in the house now too. 

Craft wise, my cousin gave me a bag of her 3 daughters babygrows, to be cut into squares and made into a patchwork quilt, so I have been cutting them out. I need 36, have 17 and have run out of babygrows so I am waiting for her to give me some more. 

And I have bought some more wool, only 4 balls, they only cost £4 and they are tweed, 100g each. 

Now I just have to think of something to crochet!
