Welcome to my blog!

Here, I journal the transformation of our tiny London backyard into a dream garden. I hope you will like it!

A dream garden, for me, is an outdoor space filled with rich colours and seductive scents, offering beautiful flowers, interesting textures and tasty morsels for our delectation. Also a source of nourishment for the local wildlife - birds, butterflies and bees. A space to enjoy with my SO, friends, family, and, of course, our cats. Somewhere to sit and have coffee, or even a meal, and a tiny patch of grass to lie on in the fleeting sunshine of the English summer. And, we're almost there...

Unless stated otherwise, all photos are by me (or my SO) and are clickable.

More roses and some comparisons

I just love these! I've realised that they do have a scent, however it is faint and only noticeable once the flower has overblown. Whilst the central petals are still tightly wound, no fragrance can escape, regardless of the magnitude of sniffing! ;)





Here is also a picture of the whole garden from the window above - especially for a secret follower of this blog! ;) It's not completely up to date, though, as it was taken a couple of days ago. Since then, I've planted the courgettes and squashes next to the right hand side fence, and my SO constructed a compost bin/enclosure in front of the rhododendron.




The first garden picture (though taken from the ground floor) can be found in the very first post on here. In the following post, I wrote about planting Jerusalem artichoke tubers, and here's a picture of those now, at about 1.5 high. Bushy, eh? :)
