Garden Flowers

I’ve been largely at home feeling depressed miserable and achy this week. Think it’s the wet weather. However not all is lost. I’ve managed to drag myself out to run and done some decent times. I’ve also cracked on well in the garden. It’s actually looking like it might be planting time soon. And I’ve got the seeds sown ready in pots in my kitchen, thanks to the wonderful range at North One Garden Centre.

There’s a grass verge near me that’s currently covered in wild violets. I’ve been looking at it longingly, wondering if I dare ‘transplant’ a few with all the CCTV there is in the area! Not sure the council would look kindly on nicking the plants. Of course, since then some guy on a mower has been and mown them all down… guess the council have not got the violets on their ‘keeps’ list. Sigh. The plants are OK, but most of the flowers are gone.

Still, I have acquired a few broken pipes and bricks from a building site, and have plans to build a feature. With the change in the weather things are looking up.
