Greening

I like plants, they make me happy. Unfortuantely I've not had much space for them ove rthe last four years as living in student housing leaves little room for plants. Now we have moved however, there is plenty of room!

When my parents came to visit a couple of weekends ago they took me on a shopping spree to the garden centre as a house warming present. I decked out the window box at the front of the house, which although a minor thing really,makes me very happy indeed. I think it looks glorious and its the last thing I see before leaving the house in the morning and its always there looking splendid when I get home in the evening.

With the winter coming on it'll all die back soon, but there is a suprise for spring in there. Under the ground are 30 minature daffodil and iris bulbs, which will hopefully sprout when it starts getting warmer. Yay.

I've also purchased a large French Lavender plant which is now repotted and happily sitting outside the back door. It smells divine.
