I just absolutely love spending time in my garden! We have a fairly decent sized garden and have 3 dogs who I love to spend time with in the sunshine in my garden. It's south facing so during the majority of the day we have the sun shining in which is juts brilliant. We have now started a rockery area in the back corner where we will have a bench and lots of flowers with little stepping stones so that we can sit in the sun and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

So tell me do you love your garden and do you enjoy mkaing it look beautiful so that you can sit and enjoy it?

My garden doesn't have flowers in it. My flowers didn't bloom this year, I plant seeds as a neat little science project that my children can watch grow. This spring was hot and we planted and then after a week or two it went before freezing so I think it killed all of my seeds. My vegetable garden I spend a lot of time in and love it.

Thats a shame! My husband would have a vegetable garden if he could but having the dogs means the vegetables would just get ruined! x

My dog did walk through the garden until I put landscape timbers, after that he stayed clear. We adopted him from a shelter and he has a lot of fears, he is afraid of anything that he has to walk over lol.

I suppose at least you know he'll stay in the bit that you want him to! Our garden is pretty flat just grass except for that corner bit but we plan to do some decking in the corner near to the house at some point and then have a fire pit on it with a few chairs and solar lights so we have a place to sit as a group to when friends come over.

Is having a garden an inspiration?

My wife and I have been married for more than 25 years and never really had a place to put in a garden until we bought the property we live on now.

We are starting out slow so we don't over do it and regret gardening.

We started last year a bit by removing some of the flower, shrubs and trees we don't like or want. We still have more trees to get rid of but they are going to really take some labor so that's been put off until another year.

This year we start some strawberries and raspberries, some of my fav fruit. Of course we won't get a crop this year but I look forward to next year and many years after that of strawberries and raspberries.

We put up a kitchen tent this year, just behind the house so you can't see it from the road but we sit out there and just take in the beauty of our backyard gardens.

I think it is an inspiration as you create it the wya you want and it makes you feel so proud when you see your hard work paying off by the plants flowering or fruit growing that you can eat. Good luck and hope you have many years of enjoyment in your garden! x

Hi frankie,

I'm glad you enjoy your garden so much. It sounds like a very peaceful place. My garden is quite small by comparison just taking up maybe 1/10 of the yard. I am going to make it alittle bigger though shortly becasue I am going to plant some fall crops in a few weeks. I may try to make my garden bigger next year. The one we have now is bigger than the one we had last year. With the cost of food it seems like a smart thing to do. Happy gardening!

I hope you manage to increase the size of your garden then as it can be such a brilliant place to chill out and relax! x

I do like my garden and we often will sit out and have a cup of tea if the sun is out,we dont have a massive garden,but its plenty big enough,then for our vegetables we have an allotment,which hubby takes care of,I do the garden at home,but im growing atumn bedding in the green house at the moment as its much cheaper to grow from seed.

Yes exactly - I love having the space to sit in the usn and have a drink of tea or something colder if it's warm! I love how peaceful my garden is in the summer especially if I'm not in work and everybody else is so the neighbourhood is so quiet!
