sweet peas for summer!

Here are my Sweet peas for summer - nearly ready to plant up now I think!

Yummy peas shoots ready to add to salads - mmm!

 Some flowers from some pots I planted I thought that they had died but they seeem to have come back to life!
My Globe Artichoke plants, that I have now planted up in my veggie plot!                                       
 

Update - Wedding Planning!

Well I have been very busy since Christmas, as I got engaged! We are having the wedding this summer so I have been busy planning and had not much time for decluttering!!! I have been busy in the Garden though. I bought myself a book called 'Sweet Peas for Summer - How to create a garden in a year.' by Laetitia Maklouf. It is very inspiring, although I was a bit late for some of the things she suggest I managed to plant some sweet peas, which my mother in law to be is also planting to go on my tables at the wedding! So the sweets peas are nearly ready and I just need to fix some bamboo stakes into a sort of wigwam shape! I will post some photos!

My Garden

With all these lovely spring days we wanted to get the garden started. We have been in our house nearly 10 months now and not really attempted any gardening. The previous owner had weed killed anything around the edges, so we weren't sure what would grow! We now have two daffodils and lots of bluebells - which have not flowered yet. We have also discovered some Solomon seal growing which is lovely. I will add another post with details of what we have been doing with the garden but at the moment my favorite is the new weeping cherry blossom tree we planted at the front, which is now in full bloom!
