Hi Guys
Well its been another great day today, lots happening. Managed to do a small bit of weeding but there is still loads….and I mean loads to do.
I thought I would just give you a quick update on the rockery that I planted up a couple of months ago. It is not easy when you live at the foothill of a mountain. Most of the land around our home is solid rock, so having a garden with flower borders was a bit of a challenge which I rose to and as you will see from the photos I have managed to add some real colour to what was already beautiful scenery.
Creating a flower rockery/border like this takes a lot of effort and an amazing amount of flowers, so I do try and save the seeds from the dahlias and the french marigolds each year. Stay tuned to my blog and I will show you how to save your flower seeds and how to sow and grow them next year.
Happy Gardening

Wow! Eve – how beautiful your garden is! I’m interested to read how you save your seed- especially Dahlias. We planted several in various pots on our deck with great success but I would love to start some from seed in our vegetable garden. Thanks for all the lovely pictures, I will be looking at them often 🙂
God bless you, Susie

When my sister was married last year, I took the roses from her bouquet and rooted them by cutting off the heads, making a clean cut on the bottoms dipping the fresh-cut bottoms in rooting hormone, and putting them in a pot that was half Perlite and half soil.The garden designer must have hands-on experience of garden. An experienced garden designer must have any sound understanding within growing plants to show the above images overall superb!!!!!!!!
