Completely forgot to post the finished Rock Garden I built last month. Swipe to see how it started. There’s a reason we used to call it “Crap Corner” 😆 But It’s crap no more. 🌾🪴🌴🌲

The grass got a bit grotty Round about it but I can report it’s growing again.

Hello! After a bit of a break I’ve been back out in my garden enjoying the sunshine and getting my gardening gloves dirty once more. One of my Rock Gardens in particular had gone rogue as I had mildly neglected it. 🫣 Weeds had run-a-mock and my Curry Plant had gone berserk and was woody and ugly to the point of no return. It had to go. Plus I was keen to move my gorgeous and thriving Japanese Cedar into its spot. Which I’ve done. Not entirely sure that’s advisable but fingers crossed it’s happy and not upset by its 1ft move sideways. 🤞

Really happy with the results of the glow-up though. I shoogled the rocks around a bit so they sat a bit better and I just love the vibrant green of the trees against the Teak fence. 🌲🌳

Scroll to see the before pics. You’ll see it was looking a bit scabby. But it’s scabby no more! 😍

I’ve had lovely day mooching around the Hampton Court Garden Show. What a glorious event. 🪴🌾🌲🌵🌴 But I’ve eaten too much Gelato. 🍨

Will be posting lots of stories for a highlight this evening. Eyes peeled 👀

In the 💗 today! Time to knuckle down for a bit of weeding! They have gone ballistic in my Rock Gardens recently so I should be busy for a couple of hours. 🌿

Woohoo! One of my Chilli plants is growing an actual Chilli at last! 🌶️ The other 2 have flowers so hopefully will produce Chillis soon!

These plants are Roxi, Eureka & Jalapeño Chillis.

I bought them off my dear friend Sarah-fiona Helme who has a small holding in my home village of Stonehouse, South Lanarkshire in Scotland. She grows 🌶️ and 🍅 Plants and all sorts of other Veggies and things🥦🥒🥬🍓 She’s very clever and works unbelievably hard. Swipe to see her lovely face and give her a wee follow. ✅
