Can you believe its been a whole month since I started doing my garden, I started off by black mailing my hubby to tidy the garden up as it had got into a right mess.
After Hubby got stuck in to get it sorted after black mailing him a few cans he got my garden ready so I could get started with my plan for a little flower garden.
I then went shopping with my Steemit money and bought a lot of pots and flowers, I have spent quite a few hours potting and re-potting to brighten my garden up. We had a few disasters after the weather changed and heavy rains flooded a few pots, thankfully most of them have survived and now they are starting to bloom.
I can see a massive difference, my garden now looks more alive and colourful. Its been hard work and caused me a lot of pain but its been worth it seeing all those gorgeous flowers that I have grown with help from you on here.
I feel like I have achieved something, and now when the sun is out I can go sit out there and enjoy it.
Thank you son-of-satire
Tidy! You are awesome. I would have given up before I started the work of cleaning haha!
Thank you, I hate cleaning, hubby did the heavy work :)
So much progress! It's fun to look back and see how far it's come. When you're puttering with it every day it's easy to lose track, but the pictures (and our aches) don't lie.
You have done a spectacular job! Kudos to you and hubby!
(P.S. That pot with the face and feet cracks me up!)
I have 2 but can't find the other one, think he is hiding from me lol Thanks hun for all your help and advice :)
You're welcome! Will be thinking of you when I plant the impatiens I picked up for the containers by my front steps. Yours are so pretty!
(Hint on the third pepper - up and to the left of the other two. Towards the top of the plant.)
Finally effort is paying off
Yes, over the moon :)
Nice! It looks very tidy. Do you have any vegetables or herbs, or are all non-edibles?
Thank you,I have some herbs growing, haven't started on vegetables, I might give them a go next year :)
Big difference! You did a great job. Cool! I wish You good luck in the future.
Thank you , All the hard work done now, just sit back and watch the flowers grow :)
Good job ! Clean is much better !

Thank you :)
Seems its going great ) Just in time for the summer !
Thank you, looking forward to a few weeks sitting in the sun :)
That's quite a transformation of your garden although quite honestly, it looks more like dumping ground turning into a cozy garden ;) Happy for you :)
Hubby is a bricklayer,he tries to use it as a builders site lol not anymore :)
Alright, it looks like a cozy place to relax and have tea now :)
Its going to stay looking nice, thank you :)
you garden really nice ... You did an awesome job!
Thank you :)
@karenb54, what a cute little place to be. I want to relax now.
It feels nice sitting out there now , Thank you :)
It looks great..just remember that some of our best moments begin with pain. Keep on planting
I must be having some fantastic moments then as my knee has me in tears lol Thank you :)
your welcome and try and rest and ice that knee when you can
Thank you, I am sitting now just took my medication, waiting for them to kick in :)
Looks very nice and peacful
Thank you, it also smells lovely :)
Hi @karenb54 it looks awesome a great change from the old place. You inspire me!
Thank you @stardust that means anlot :)
It just shows that you can do a lot with a little you do not have to have a big garden. Keep going it is going to get more lovely.
It is I have so many flowers coming up :)
I think it makes a big difference and I suspect it helps you feel better in yourself too. I think nature helps to do that.
I totally agree, I feel like I have achieved something and now have somewhere I can go and enjoy, Its beautiful to sit with and the fragrance is so nice :)
Yes for sure. I think there was one time where I was staying in hospital accommodation and I hardly ever saw any greenery. It starts to take a toll I think.
It does, it brings you down. I am severely low in Vitamin D now hopefully I will get more time outside that will change :)
A lot of people with depression can get low on it. Also people who are overweight - so double trouble for me! That's why I try to get out into the sun for a walk at least - even on an overcast day it can help.
I have the same problems, sitting in the house all day does you no good but when you can't walk far there's no where to go. I am on Vit D tablets but don't feel any better or maybe I do maybe its them that;s given me the energy to do my garden :)
I'm taking the tablets too. It is supposed to help.
nice having a little space to sit out and get out of the house to get some vitamin d and general oxygen! i'd like a little area, maybe when i move i'll look at doing it on a balcony..
I am severely low in Vitamin D due to being disabled and housebound, it has been painful to do but well worth it now as I have a place to sit and can enjoy the view :)
that's fantastic news that you're able to get outside!
THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING. So cool!
I am glad you like it :)
Well done, I love before and after pictures :)
Thank you, Its great to see it ll come together :)
Very true, we have a big garden and when we bought our home, it was nothing but weeds and thorns, after a couple of years of working in it, you can see it really coming to its right. It takes time, but it is very rewarding!
It is once its done, I would love to have a bigger garden but would then have to pay a gardener to keep on top of it lol
Well I would love to have a garden at all, it is my mothers garden, she really loves flowers and most of her weekends are spent by working in the garden or going to a gardening store, she has a heart of gold.
Its good to look after your mum especially when you have a good mum :)
Yes, she is a really good mother, she's always willing to help everyone, she has so much love, I can only hope I have some of her love inside of me as well.
You reap what you sow because of steemit and the people behind it who invested their time and effort. Nice post! @karenb54
Thank you :)
It looks brilliant, well done! :) I'm feeling inspired to crack on with my garden, while there is still time to enjoy it over the summer! Look froward to seeing an update in a month or two! :)
Looks great. Tomatoes?? Give us a list of what you're growing. I think I see Basil.
No tomatoes but got herbs, thyme 2 mints and rosemary :)
That looks great Karen! See hard work pays off. Now you get to enjoy it and brightens your day :)
Thank you, it does, its the first thing I do when I get up, go check my garden :)
That's wonderful! Plus you get to breathe in new oxygen every day. Keep at it :0)
Thank you, I am actually getting some sun and fresh air for a change :)
Yes that's great. Some Vitamin D :)
I need lots if it lol
I think we all do. I know I need to get out more to get some of that vitamin! LOL
OK, tell us the truth:) Did you use magic outside Hogwarts?:)
I know its grown really quickly, not sure ts going to last though as we are forcast torrential rain tomorrow :(
I thought it's a good thing? I mean... Plant+water=happy plant:)
I hope so, just hope it doesn't drown them
Hope so too!They're too awesome!
Awwwwwww thats a cute tiny garden!
I know lol easy for me to manage :)
Hahahahaha yea, when u were talking about gardening I was imagining a small version of what I am used to, but was way off. Nice to see ur spot, I feel like I know u a lot better now!
