Mini garden by happypat

Mini garden

I planted these alpines & bulbs yesterday in our new front garden wall.
Not very exciting but I have nothing else new.
No damage so far during Storm Eunice thank goodness!
Some scary footage of trees coming down & the top of the spire on Wells church being blown off!

Three good things:
1. We have just had the bride round, we have said they can use our drive to park cars so she popped in to say thank you. She said she was nervous!
2. We’ve stayed in most of the day & watched the curling at the Winter Olympics. Both our teams are in the final so two medals at last!
3. Both UK grandchildren are home this weekend as it’s the anniversary of other grandads death. Lydia has decided not to travel from Newcastle until the morning thank goodness & Jack will come by train tomorrow.
That's very pretty and no bending or kneeling needed to look after that lovely garden.
Was wondering about your weather and the bride across the road! 😊

@sarah19 it has t been too bad Sallie thankfully…marquee still up thank goodness but I can hear the wind blowing now…never seems so bad in daylight!

Looks super ❤️ All the best for the weekend's commemorations. It was my brother's anniversary yesterday. Always a poignant thing.

Such a nice area to plant and it will be easy to care for. Hopefully the weather is ok for the wedding next door.

@casablanca Yes it’s a sad loss & a poignant time for remembering loved ones.

@dide Thank you Dianna….the wind is supposed to die down later….it’s sounds a bit noisy outside just now…a worry they could do without but a very odd time to have a marquee weeding!

Super idea for a wall - you can change the plants every year. Filled full of good soil, I expect.

A marquee wedding in February, optimistic even without storms. Nice little garden.
February 18th, 2022  
Very neat and tidy. Fingers crossed we all stay safe.

Your little mini garden gives just enough color to keep you happy until you can plant to your heart's desire. Enjoy!
February 18th, 2022  
A lovely start to your little wall garden , l can imagine it by the end of summer ful of low growing colourful flowers and trailing plants!
February 18th, 2022  
It looks wonderful and so much potential. Your pov makes it look so long!
February 18th, 2022  
looks beautiful
February 18th, 2022  
@maggiemae Yes new soil & a whole bag of compost on the top!
February 18th, 2022  
@beryl That’s the idea Beryl. I shall plant more later, ones that flower more in the summer. Actually this is just about the size of planting that suits me!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@busylady it is quite a long wall Judith…we have two entrances at either end of the front drive & this wall fronts the road you can see on the left.

@carole_sandford Very optimistic Carol! It’s made a lot more work than it would have done in the summer. You have a choice of the whole of the year when you can have the wedding at home so there must be a reason I suppose.

@countrylassie The wind is making a lot of noise at the moment so hasn’t given up yet but hopefully we will be OK but some won’t be so lucky!
February 18th, 2022  
@essiesue Just enough for me if the truth be known…would love to have someone come in & transform the big garden at the back!
February 18th, 2022  
@samae Thank you.
February 18th, 2022  
They’re going to look beautiful very soon
February 18th, 2022  
Pretty. I think we got off lightly. Glad you did too.
February 18th, 2022  
That will be such a pretty splash of colour. During our cyclone Dovi, we were having lunch at a restaurant just outside of New Plymouth when my daughter and I saw a very large tree toppling and cows running!
February 18th, 2022  
Lovely
February 18th, 2022  
I like your pov and look forward to watching it flourish
February 19th, 2022  
What a great garden spot!!
February 19th, 2022  
Pretty! Great POV and composition.
February 19th, 2022  
Busy girl.. this will be so nice ! Yes we got off quite lightly with the winds too,thank goodness
February 19th, 2022  
Oh, what a lovely tidy border. It's going to be beautiful! Glad you survived Eunice unscathed!
February 19th, 2022  
This is going to be lovely when it's established - look forward to seeing that. Hope the wedding went OK in the end.
February 19th, 2022  
I love your flower bed. Sweet flowers too. Sounds like an exciting weekend!
February 19th, 2022  
I love gardens in walls like this. It’s going to be lovely Pat.
February 19th, 2022  
Such a sweet garden space. Love this. I've been reading about your wretched weather. Stay safe and cozy. And well done to the GRB curling teams!
