“What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more,
to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks
where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes,
or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that
tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness! “
Helen Keller
Remember last Autumn when the old compost heap on the allotment looked like this?
Then Hubby got to work and started to dig. First digging the rectangle bed out which I was going to set flowers in and my apple trees in.
If I had wanted these nasturtiums to grow through the top of this broken old fire onion chimney they most likely wouldn’t have.. But just look at the transformation of the old compost heap.. You now see the new overflowing compost heap contained behind the abundant Squashes and Courgettes.
Well now it looks like this.
All the above flowers are within that bed.
Along with these
Not to mention the sweetpeas we have had in abundance
Also more flowers within the Allotments
Enjoy all that Nature offers you.
Look after and care for each other.
And remember the Life Force that runs through All things..
Love and Blessings for a Wonderful Week
~Sue~

Wow, thank you so much for sharing dear Sue, what beautiful flowers! 🙂 You are so blessed with your garden. Many of those are also very helpful as flower essences, for example Nasturtium brings back the joy of a child, and Sweet Pea helps you to feel at home on Earth (for people who find it hard to put down roots and find their place in the world). Autumn is my favourite season, it brings the full bounty of the earth.
Have a wonderful week! ❤

Oh my goodness, Sue ❤ Your garden is leaping with color! I am especially drawn to the Sweetpeas, but it's difficult to say that because yes your Nasturiums, Dahlias, Snap Dragons (nose-shaped! How neat!)… They all look so good 🙂 Our Nasturiums are not the same this year. I really don't know why. Since I don't grow them in soil, there's nothing to adjust. I wonder if it's possible they are getting too much light. Usually, I do like to add them (Nasturiums) into my salads.
I'm so glad you had a peaceful weekend, and thanks for my stroll around your lovely garden. xo Ka

Yes alot of others have said the same about their sweetpeas.. I think because we planted on rich soil over the compost heap which Hubby levelled is the factor, plus we watered well.
Its also part sunny and shade behind the sheds, and I would be picking them every day and giving small bunches of them away to neighbours.. The more you cut them the more that come.. I have some in my home garden and they are in a tub.. They haven’t had as many on as the one’s in the allotment, but have produced long stems.. :-)..

Aww its a shame you do not have a house with garden.. I know how lucky I am to enjoy my garden blooms.. These are not in my home garden but in my allotment plot.. Which is around a 5 minute walk away.. Again I am so lucky these plots are on my doorstep x

I have trouble trying to work out how you have time to create such an abundant and beautiful garden Sue, am sure those flowers pop up and bloom at the sound of your voice.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Best wishes for a beautiful Sunday.

Thank you Emu.. lol.. I do actually talk to them often.. As I praise them for looking beautiful, or say things like oh you poor thing if its drooping or eaten by caterpillars.. You would be surprised how they love the Gladioli’s 😉 Thank you for that sweet comment Ian. 🙂 I hope your Sunday was a good one and that arm of yours is healing? love to you both xxx

Your garden is a pleasure to see.
It reminds me of my child hood before white people learned to appreciate the native plants.
All these lovely flowers and plants I see in your garden my mother grew.
Some were a real challenge but others like Sweet Peas, Snap Dragons, I used to called the Puppy Dog flowers.
The Nasturtiums are like pumpkins the way they can run wild.
That is what I love to see nature lending her creative hand.
She is not into ordered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8ntiVQnuVo still it is all good.
As long as we sow good seed and take care of it we will benefit.
You and your husband have shown us a treasure.
I hope it inspires others to get out and enjoy natures garden._/\_

Dear Jack..
I am happy you enjoyed our garden. And it brought back the memory of the flowers your Mother grew.
Thank you so much for that beautiful choir and slide show of Australia Jack. I think our hearts are where our homes are no matter where we live… We enjoy growing, especially the veggies.. This year I wanted more flowers so my hubby said you can use the strip down the side of the allotments for this.. Next year I hope to try something different. I hope to plant veggies and flowers in between.. I went to Chatsworth House recently in Derbyshire.. ( I grew up a few miles from there so I know it and have visited the land around it often ) But this time we paid to go into their gardens.. and such a delightful mix of flowers and veggies happily growing in their very large kitchen garden. My inspiration for this method of planting comes from seeing theirs.. So hubby is letting me have the reins for planning next years lay out.. 🙂 I am excited about that..
Many thanks Jack for your encouragement.. I hope it inspires others to nurture their gardens too _/\_ Sue

Wonderful I am looking forward to seeing how it looks when you get it all established. Some vegies and flowers assist each other when grown together.

I know that Marigolds roots protect plants from nematodes but I would have to revise my knowledge on the subject as it is a long time since I had a decent size vegie garden.
I am pleased you are spending more time in the garden and other hobbies. Our blogs should take second place, as they have little impact on the major problems in the world.
I have now recovered, back doing all the physical activities. To day I can boast, I was awarded the outstanding member of the month at the World Gym.
Young fit people say I am an inspiration to them. To inspire others in worthwhile things is a noble achievement that pleases me.
May your garden florish. _/\_
