The climbers are all doing well and it's a pleasure to pop out and help them on their way and in the direction I want them to go.
So I'm the quick gardener; new gardener, green and learning. I zip in and out of the house to garden in spare time, 15 mins at a time. You won't find expert tips here, I am the novice. Help me; give me tips, please do. You probably won't find me mulching or stressing about soil. If things grow, I'm happy. If they're pretty, I'm happier :D

Sunflowers and Climbers in Wild
The Wild Corner is flourishing with the sunflowers almost as tall as the fence now :)

New and Old from the Garden
So proud of this first bloom of the pink Gerbera I planted. It's the only one, but so pretty! It stands out in the Wild Corner.
I've also harvested the seeds of Love In A Mist which are over now and dried. Love popping those cases and planting them for the following year!

Securing Sunflowers
Ok it's very windy today and, having grown these seedlings myself -an achievement in itself - I was not about to watch them being snapped by the elements.
I am sure there are products on the market for tying but I've used my trusty crochet wool. Why not? It seems to be working.
This is my ambitiously named 'wild flower corner' by the way. I just scattered a packet of seeds around and look what appeared! I recognise poppies and Ive added a few other things in between. No idea what some of them are. Feel free to enlighten me do!
