A walk through my garden

Hello and welcome to my blog  today I am posting some pics of my garden Recently we have been renovating our garden room . We are so pleased with the end result . this area is facing our back garden and it is our  outdoor/indoor entertaining area  we have many wonderful memories of our barbies and parties  here with family and friends 


OUR GARDEN ROOM  view from our living room 

Freshly painted .

I always find choosing paint colors difficult 

very happy with the end result .

 all the plants really flourish here .

I fertilise often ( every 3 months)

with organic fertilizer . 

 I found this old sideboard back in the 1970's 

it is from the 1940's era 

and the clock just sets it off .

I often glance at the clock when I am gardening to keep 

pace of my time between stretching exercises .

My interest of gardening began back in 1973 when I was expecting my first child ..Tara .

I found it was so relaxing, soothing and food for my soul .

the energy I receive from nature is amazing .

On really hot days I wake at about 5 a.m. 

to garden in the cool of the early morning before the heat .

I like to spend at least 2-3 hours every day tending to my garden.

digging, pruning, fertilizing, mulching watering etc. 

 THESE COBBLESTONES 

are unique as we made them ourselves way back in 1980 

we made 2,500 all by  hand 

in those days we did not have much money , 

so this was one way of having some paving .

I love the way the moss grows between the stones in the depth of winter

 a close up of the mossy stones . hope you have enjoyed my garden . I will take some more pics of other areas  of the garden .  I feel there are enough photos on this post , I didn't want to bore you x stay safe and happy .. thanks for popping by
