My little flowerbed has now turned into 6 ever-growing ones, but it's still those simple pleasures that you describe that make it all worthwhile. I've found that working in the garden is cheaper than going to a therapist:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-30320967702286289022012-06-30T19:19:05.936+01:002012-06-30T19:19:05.936+01:00Having a garden is becoming a bit of a privilege i...Having a garden is becoming a bit of a privilege in the UK now.

We reworked our landscape to be somewhat grass and annual free. Whe have to add losts of mulch, and occasionally put weeds or spray killers. <br /><br />Nearly no mowing and we have a neighbor teenager that wants money for chores. How convenient.<br /><br />I have planted knock out roses which reqire much less care. I two varieties of roses which were here when we bought the place. They must bve very enduring as I do nothing to help the be beautiful. Both are climbers. One id Blazing Red Climber which is an old variety. The other is a smaller pimkish variety that really puts out the climbing vines.<br /><br />But enjoy while you can.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-9237876890704483122012-06-30T08:05:55.989+01:002012-06-30T08:05:55.989+01:00Some beautiful flowers there.

The only real chore is keeping the bushes pruned, as most of them grow like the clappers.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-60258461422363190242012-06-28T09:17:51.675+01:002012-06-28T09:17:51.675+01:00My garden is so slowly coming together.

It was put back a whole year when next door built their extension and dug up the area between our houses, which also involved digging up bits of my borders. Well done for cultivating such a lovely place in so short a time. xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-44543417654068704782012-06-28T07:05:24.060+01:002012-06-28T07:05:24.060+01:00Lovely!
