CONTAINER GARDENING

Into gardening this month, great video on container gardening from Ian Cooke, Ian has won numerous awards from the Royal Horticultural Society. Make sure that you use all the muscles in your hands especially if you have worked on computers during your life.

What flowers did you choose this summer, I have a lily, begonia's, carnations, dahlia's, fuchsia, geraniums, a hydrangea and some marigold's.

The carnations have such a powerful fragrance and so does the lavender that has grown very quickly.

My blueberry bush is doing great and so is the olive tree, the olive tree has plenty of room to grow now, at least for another two years.

Now that the weather is warmer the tomato plants are outside, with some of the herbs and strawberries. It will be interesting to see how much the first crop brings, it's great to watch things grow in mum's garden that is full of memories.

Have you created a memory garden for your loved ones and all that they passed on to you. My gran Sophia had a lovely garden and so did her sisters Mary, and Rose, mum carried on with the gardening that had been passed on to her. Mum used to say that I was most like aunt Mary, as she was also an Aquarian.

My home is like a green house, so the chilli's, sweet peppers and beans are still inside until they are much stronger in size.

What else is growing outside, some beetroot, ginger, garlic and onions. Hoping for some asparagus, and raspberries to manifest too. Enjoying watching the garden grow.

Just seen the news, the horse "Wings of Eagles" won the Derby today in the UK, I definitely, would've backed that.
