    I love my only being able to do my growing pots. It’s the last hobby I can only just manage pain to do. 
    But I am overwhelmed by all you lovely peoples post. So I think I will be sticking to just reading x
    ada i used to be a farmer now i have to work out how to do things easy but taking 3 times as long does not detract from the satisfaction of doing it just the neighbours dobbing me in when dawnies not around bless her

    @ada have you thought about raised flower beds? It'd save the pain of getting down to the dirt and you can still have lots of pretty things around. :)

    Lots of forget-me-nots at the end of my garden. They come up every year. I try to keep this bit more wild for the birds and the beasties :)

    Thank you @Albus_Scope
    its obviously nothing like Everyone’s garden on here but it’s my little bit of heaven. When all the flowers go out the front and the salad n veg are on the wall. It’s lovely for me to see.   
    and that sums it all up well done little and often

    I do the growing, sis does the cutting to put around the house.  I think I've got the harder part of this deal.  :D

    haha we grow but never have cut flowers for the house we much prefer to see them just growing in the garden

    Oh totally, I much prefer seeing them outside too.  But sometimes a few spares around the house can really brighten a room up. :)

    I've enjoyed looking at everyone's pictures. We have a veg patch with several raised beds that my husband made and a very large garden that quickly gets out of control! I'm late getting started this year, so just have garlic growing, asparagus that I'm harvesting now and the remaining carrots and parsnips from last year. I have many seeds to plant! Aiming to get my potatoes in this week too.

    Sandy_123 marigolds are perennials so will only come back if your lucky to get them to self seed with most things in the garden never say never
