Our Beautiful World

We truly live in a beautiful world and I for one am so thankful that I have my garden to potter about in, plant my flowers and enjoy the results. To garden is for me good exercise, fresh air, mood lifting, relaxing and creative.  Growing plants from seed is the most rewarding thing of all.  Just watching a seedling appear from where I sowed a tiny seed is exciting and the joy of seeing the plant grow and then produce some amazing flower is just the best thing ever.

This year I grew more flowers from seed than I have ever done in the past and I have great pleasure in knowing that I saved a small fortune and also also feel very smug that I can fill the vases in the house for free, and give some to neighbours and friends.  The best have been the Zinnias and the Asters which are still up until today producing loads of blooms.  The dahlias that I grew from seeds last year are this year stunning, both in the garden and on my allotment plot. Here below is a selection of photo's of the flowers.
