My Garden

You know the garden I frequently mention?

Well, it is real and here are some photos to prove it.

Self seeded pansys :)

A white dicentra growing over my camomile herd. I think it looks like some strange alien brontosaurus.

A lewisia which survives against all odds every year

My baby ginko tree :)

Part of my strawberry field 

I gave away most of my fruit bushes because I would like to move house sometime in the next 10 months. Here we have (left to right) Tayberry, Gooseberry, Boysenberry, Sunberry and anomous currant.

Gorgeous scented hardy white lillies glad to see them poking up again this year

My first blueberry bushes are flowering merrily :)

My nettle bed of shame :( Need to sort this one out soonish really.

More Dicentra, I love bleeding hearts lol

And so there you are folks, a snippet of my garden. I looks much prettier once everything starts flowering and I know the frosts are over so I put some summer bedding in and stuff :)

Catch you laters

An interim post

Hi folks, tis moi.

I have started my job and it seems to be going quite well. I am working in a warehouse, 35 hours a week which in theory gives me time to craft although at the moment I am still getting used to the daily structure.

I have also implemented a healthier eating plan to try and shift some of the Purky podge and reinvigorate myself.

I am going to spend Saturday morning in the garden sorting out my fruit bushes and trimming back the weeds from the perenials bed. Going to put my potted rosebushes in there and some other pretty flowering type plants whilst leaving space for the summer bedding. It is still too cold though to start buying it in.

Saturday afternoon, touch wood. I am going to jump into the studio and at the very least tidy it up so I have space to work. I find that helps me to be creative.

My lovely and only recently discovered friend Beth is heading back over to India to get ready for her next major move. As I do not know when I will see her again, I have invited her over for dinner Saturday night.

Its still a bit complicated over here at Purky Towers with regards the DB (dear boyfriend, downgraded from darling husband because he no longer wants to marry me) and all the logistical stuff of existing in an economic and social downturn.

Even Phil the cat is being very stressed and demanding.

Oh and an update on my lovely friends expecting their first baby, it appears the chocks are away and the whole grisly miraculous process is starting. My best thoughts and love to them.

Stay tuned for a proper Purky Products update in the next few days with real pictures of stuff wot I made :)
