My creative space...

Has, at last, been all about the garden.  I have been planting bulbs in the hope that come the spring I am blessed with glorious colour again.



I have spent many hours scouring catalogues and websites and put together three schemes for some tulip beds.  I bought all my bulbs from here, for the first time and it comes highly recommended.

No2 did the digging (and copious amounts of moaning about it, I might add) and so, for the first time, I have planted my tulips in trenches.




If my garden looked anywhere near as beautiful as this one, I will be in green-fingered heaven next year.


I had some very enthusiastic helpers as well as the more begrudging one too.  Ignore the tin can, if you don't mind.  I have unearthed all manner of debris from party of the year outside...




Right, I'm off for a soak in the bath.  My fingernails are disgusting and my shoulders are aching from the bending and digging.

More creative spaces here.
