That's really good work Emma - and it must have been so cold. Hope you treated yourself to a hot cuppa when you came in - or something stronger - well done, your borders are coming on a treat.

Re: Bought some new plants for my borders


Eileen watch what you said otherwise I might send you a few strawberries!!! lol

Angie - it wasn't too cold which surprised me, I went outside dressed in multiple layers and had to remove my coat and scarf as I was getting too hot

Thanks Karen, I will try and propogate from some of these plants. Might buy a few more different ones over the summer. The borders will become deeper in time so I should have loads of room to plant flowers.

The dragon is called 'George'

Must admit I don't like a great deal of ornaments in the garden but I have always wanted a dragon Hopefully when all of the plants fill out he will be covered with flowers
