A new mistress – the garden

I haven’t been posting to the blog in recent weeks as often as I like – I have an old mistress – knitting commissions and a new mistress – the garden.

But oh how I am enjoying the garden. The pottering about in the evening, a little bit of idle weeding, noticing what it appearing, the odd bit of deadheading.

So my new mistress is stealing a little bit of my blogging time.

If you have been visiting this site for a while – you will know that it is the flowers that really ‘get’ me.

I adore them. In recent weeks I have been making a little wish list of flower must-haves and hopefully will plant a couple before the season is out. The more established roses have already begun to flower. I am just waiting for the first bloom of my birthday roses and I am sure it won’t be long.

The most fantastic aspect is beginning to bring those garden flowers inside. I can now walk past the supermarket selection with pride and think – ‘You know what I think I can cut some from the garden’ Hurrah.
