Buddleia, ( Butterfly Bush) in May.

I wanted a butterfly bush this year and asked my neighbour ( the one with the cat!) if I could have a cutting from his tree well next day he came along with a plant he had dug up from some spare ground . It has survived winter and is now growing strong.

They attract fabulous English Butterflies.

The Peacock butterfly and The Red Admiral butterfly.
Hopefully I will be taking these pictures from my own butterfly tree this year!

My Rabbit tree

This little tree is about 10 years old, I started shaping him into a rabbit!!

What do you think?

And my dinosaur hedge...below.

Make trees into hedge.

This is how our next door neighbours trees had grown because of neglect.

Notice the bench and shed? now look further down....

We asked and asked to get them cut down.
That is my husband working on our side.September 2007, above..

Result 2 years later!

April 2009, we get the sun in our garden once again!

Garden in 2008

After viewing a few gardening blogs I thought it a good time of the year to create my own as they are so interesting to follow. How the garden changes with time throughout the seasons.

I'll start off with a picture of how it was last year.

July 2008 the front.

March 2008 the back.

A lot of work was done over the winter, it looks slightly different now, 12 months on.

Here are some seeds planted in March 2009.

Next post shows pictures of how they are getting on.
