Gardeners Illustrated April is on sale now and my garden is featured in
it! I knew this was going to happen of course, but still the very moment you
have the magazine in hand, then you are really on cloud nine....
I have to return quickly to earth though. A garden woman featuring in
Gardeners Illustrated needs to work hard in her garden!
Last week I took on a part of the lawn in the back yard. This gets very little
light and therefore it struggles growing. So, I have decided to lay new turf.
Easier said than done though. Preparing the soil is a lot of work. First
digging up the aria and breaking down large clumps. Of course I had to remove all
weeds. After that, I shuffled back and forth with my boots to firm the soil.
Finally you will have to rake the soil. After all this preparation, the
turf can be laid. You should immediately water the turf a plentiful.
The advantage of laying turf instead of sowing grass, is that you can
immediately enjoy a green lawn. After all the hard labour I look at my work
with satisfaction.
My garden in an English garden magazine ...... I muse and I am floating back
on my cloud again, albeit with hands dirty of mud and clay.....
The life of a
garden woman is not only glitz and glam!
The garden wil be open April 24 and 25.

Narcisses in pots are beautiful at the moment.

Congratulations, Hetty! Of course you are on cloud nine - having your garden in an English garden magazine is quite an honor. Unfortunately, they do not sell this magazine in Spain, otherwise I'd run out to buy one. Enjoy your achievement!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful garden you have. Reallty, really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
I think I most add you.
Best regards from me Ewa :)
Dear Hetty, wow, there is an article about your garden in Gardens Illustrated? Congratulations!!! That is BIG! I am so happy for you and if I would be you, I would sail on cloud seven, too :-)!
ReplyDeleteBut as you said mostly gardening is hard work and not glamour and bling. The grass path that you repaired with sod looks awesome. Actually, your whole garden does!
I feel thoroughly inspired by your post and can't wait to get out and work in my garden as well. Thanks!
