Gardening Journal.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Well, I haven't done much sewing yet but I have been playing with lots of photos. I decided that I needed to update the banner on my Etsy photography shop, I really wanted one that represented me and here it is! What do you think?

I had so much fun doing this and I have so many images and Artwork that I have decided to do a few custom Banner/Avatar sets and will be posting those soon.





SO, those of you who follow me on a regular basis know that every Friday I share pictures of beautiful flowers and mostly from my own garden. It has taken years of planning with some trail and error. My trusty companion thru all of this has been my wonderful Gardening Journal.


Stuffed with notes and photos of what has worked and what hasn't.




If everything I planted and planned had turned out the Royal Horticultural Society would be calling (He! He!). BTW, I once worked at the Chelsea Flower Show (when I was in my 20's) making sandwiches in the refreshment tent, that was an eye opener. But to be able to wonder around the show was such a joy.


Here is the note I wrote about planting the Lavender in the Front Garden in front of the Roses to stop the deer eating the Roses. I went back and forth about planting these as it was amazing to see Deer first thing in the morning breakfasting in our suburban garden, the kids loved to see them and so did I but it meant I lost the whole first round of Roses each season. With so much property development going on around us in the past few years the Deer moved on :(


Here are some of the Roses we planted in our back garden. If you missed seeing these Beautiful Roses here is the blog LINK


When I first got married, it was a older neighbour whose garden I admired greatly that suggested I start a gardening journal and even though it took me a few more years to get around to doing that I am really glad I did.
Have a Wonderful Day!
Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.
