Lookin' at my back door

Untidy in the kitchen...

but, you know what? It doesn't look so bad...

Topsoil spread out

One week later...

There has been plenty of rain so the grass is leaping out of the ground. Whilst annoying in terms of labour, it also means the topsoil will be better held in place.

I managed to spread it all out in one day, which meant the rains the following day hit the spot. Here are some shots of the garden, a few days later.

Another angle

This morning I happened to walk across the road to chat with Mark and Lisa about something, and looked back at the house, noticing that I had not seen it from this angle before.

So I took a couple photos.

All hail the bloody power-pole!

Anyway, my plants are definitely growing, and that's good to see.

Lookin' out my front door

I see growing things!

Post-Script: 3 years on -  this is how it looks March 28, 2019 -

Symmetry

Bought another fake box hedge plant-in-a-pot today, from the Ipswich Buy and Sell Facebook page. It was so cheap!

So now, I have matching sides on my porch! Adds a sort of cache to the old place. As if someone is thinking of it, and trying to make it better. Which I am.

How much better will it all look when it's painted?! (Get rid of that effing blue)

We have the white! (Bougy #2)

It's supposed to shower today, so I took these in the early morning sun (before 8am).

We have white flower centres - which means we finally have proper flowers! I am very pleased as it means this one is ok, and has taken. It's such a pretty colour. Hope it gathers strength over a dormant winter and goes great guns over the fence next Spring.

P.S. It looks so beautiful close-up, but the plant is really still so tiny!!

Update 26 Sept, 2017: (6 months later, with little rain)

It's much bigger now and appears to be growing well.

Update 26 March, 2019 - and hasn't it grown well!Three years on and it has started to look like a garden!
