Garden

Been doing jobs in the garden. Planting, sewing, weeding etc. Dug the veg patch, not a job I enjoy, but I love eating my own veg and salad, so it's worth the back ache !
Planted more lavender and took cuttings ( I hope they take !!!) and put in a few more plants I couldn't resist buying when we went to the local nursery the other day.

I've got windows full of seed boxes, so I hope to see some little green heads popping up in the near future.

The cherry blossom is just starting to appear. The daffs are nearly over, the tulips are in full bloom. We are some weeks behind the UK. We had a frost last week, I hope that was the last !!











I love being able to hang out the washing (Simple things etc) the fresh air smell is so nice !



As I was digging the garden my youngest was "helping" by rescuing the worms ! She then set about doing arty things with dandelions which resulted in an exhibition of dandelion art !



The rhubarb always amazes me with its rate of growth ! Made two pies this week, yummy !!







Went to a local fair /market yesterday. There was a stall selling clothes, shove as much as you can in a bag and pay 100kr ( about £8.00) I came home with two bags full, about 20 items for me and the girls ! They had some pretty summer dresses with nice prints, just my thing, so I shoved a few in my bag ! They were a little baggy under the arm so I've taken them in a little and now they are fine, I feel very pleased with myself !!

Your garden looks wonderful, I have become extra bad at blogging lately. I will be trying harder just taken lots of pictures of my gardeb to post. Wanted to let you know my mum has been enjoying reading your blog too. She loves reading blogs but is very nuaghty and does not leave comments.

Those clothes look amazing and what good value.
