How does your garden grow?

14 June 2013 by Eileen

Recently, I met Annie Spratt at the Tots100 Blog Summit and found her amazing blog. I am an amateur gardener but I am very keen to learn and keep my garden in good shape. I am linking this post up with How does your garden grow? over at Mammasaurus.

How does your garden grow

The wintry weather stayed with us for a lot longer than average this year and this has had a knock on effect on my plants. Usually by this time, my Lavender would be blooming with a mixture of purple and white but alas they have stayed quite small. These are my garden plants:

It is a little on the plain side right now but I hope to be able to show you more photos in a few weeks. If you like gardening or showcasing your plants and flowers, click the badge to join in and see how other garden grows!

    It is very important to provide adequate watering to all the plants in a garden for proper growing. Your garden is looking simply great and I also have lavenders in my garden. You have maintained your garden in a better way.

    you are so neat & tidy, my garden needs a lesson from you, yours looks great. Our lavenders have flowers mostly already, can’t wait for them all to bloom, the smell is fantastic!

    How lovely! I really like how symmetrical you have kept things in your garden in that top photo, it works really well. Looks like a relaxing space to have 🙂

    I too am waiting for my lavender to burst into purpley goodness – hope we don;t have to wait much longer!

    Thank you for joining in and sharing x

    So lovely !! My garden is also in a bad way – we need a gardener to help us get it in hand so we can deal with it really 🙁 We only moved in a year ago and it was overgrown then and we have hardly touched it ! x
