My Garden

 I am often asked what I do when not making mawspaws creations.
Both myself and Keith are not green fingered, but really enjoy the fun of our gardens, both thankfully fairly small,
but it does take up a large portion of what spare time we do get.
It is not just the flowers and plants, but the wild life that visits us
.

2011
 
Tree roots have really been the problem of 2011 in our little garden, hopefully they are all up now, a couple have found themselves on the garden fence as a reminder of all the work that has gone on this summer. Luckily the grass seed has taken and we now have some greenery to look at rather than soil.
Below is a photo of our gold finches that visit to feed in our back garden, Maureen has managed to capture the birds in flight,
not sure how she did it, LOL

2010

The rear of the back garden, the lawn is not worth showing,
 we are having a bad year for grass as we have roots coming
 from a tree behind us that is drying the ground out so much.
