Garden Treasures inc 30 Days of Beauty : 26


Morning coffee in the garden, complete with Lincolnshire Plum Loaf, topped with thick slices of cheese.
While we relaxed the hustle and bustle of the bird world never ceased.

Our Sparrows are back, again choosing to nest in the bat box rather than the box set up for them.





With full plum loaf tummies we decided to spruce up the tree house, this unloved kitchen was long over due for recycling.

After pulling it out, it was quickly returned to it's spot.




Someone has other ideas for it.


My day 26 of 30 days of Beauty.

Round the Garden

We are joining in with this fun project, hosted by http://www.5orangepotatoes.com/blog/ and with the great weather we are finally having, who could fail to not want to get out and top their Vitamin D back up.
Our garden is approx 2500 square feet, within that we have a veggie patch, greenhouse, patio, tree house and a 14ft trampoline !
Facing to the South, it is a wonderful sun trap, thankfully our lovely apple tree gives us not only tasty apples but shade when needed too.
Our dog Sky shares this space with us, so it is far from pristine but a great spot for play, investigating, relaxing and star gazing.
Fairies love it so much, they have set up home here.


Stocking up the medicine chest, calendula seedlings.


Hours are lost playing in the sand.


All hands on deck for the annual out-door toy scrub down, not sure who ended up the wettest but know that O was certainly the dirtest, happiest little boy in our garden.
What goes on in yours ?

Mini Garden Fun

Seeds planted ( cat grass ) for another mini garden to celebrate Spring, candle lit to warm the earth.

Our little pond, full of fish and crabs, swimming amongst the jewels.


Within afew days our garden was transformed to a lush green paradise, all ready for the animals to come and play ( Thanks to B http://different-choices.blogspot.com/ for our new ladybird & other goodies xx )


Such a fun project.

Easter Fun

Plenty of fun, running round the garden finding lots of treats.

Then slices of this, just to top the sugar levels back up !


Time for a Spring Detox maybe ?
