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.

Blustery Day

It's on days like this that I worry about our dilapidated fence. It hasn't been this windy since the winter, and strong gusts have already tipped over the Jerusalem artichoke containers. I have heard about that problem, and the solution - cutting them down to 1.5m - so that's what I have done. Now the 'chokes are much shorter, and the compost heap is much bigger!

Today is also "I found the macro function on the camera" day! ;) So here are the scabious, echinacea and clematis.








And the lavender/pelargonium/mints sandwich!
