Mrs BM again....

Yep....ironing all housework and garden....and has taught daughter to be the same....

I'm the messy one and they both clear up after me..

Sorry ladies I'm a keeping him...but maybe hiring him out might be a good investment opportunity...will consider...

[Florence Fennel]

Mrs BM is one lucky lady! The pictures are great, thank you.

Beautiful setting Bigmally. You should be very proud, its absolutely gorgeous.

[Bigmallly]

Thanks guys, it's taken about 5 years hard work. The garden was a forest when we bought the house, the grass was moss & boggy but I must have seen some potential..........or maybe just a moment of madness..........

[Glutton4...]

I'd go with the latter!

Lookin' good though!

[selfraising]

Great pics Bigmally, I love it.

[lettucegrow!]

Looking really lovely, Bigmally. Bet you've been enjoying your 'rooms' this year after all your hard work. I love the swing chair- you've given me an idea about what to ask for for my 50th next year.

Great piccies BM . (to Mrs BM .....is there anymore where he came from ?)

It looks lovely BM, have you got cabbages planted in amongst your flowers & what are the big orange flowers - begonias?
I'm with the others by the way Mrs BM, you should rent him out!

I went away for 2 weeks in June & left FIL in charge of the garden, when I came back, he had planted Leeks, Calabrese, Beetroot, Swede & Cabbage in my flower borders.............What could I say?......... The orange flowers, I have no idea what they are, they are like a daisy type flower They were a freebie with some geraniums I bought last year & I saved a few seeds. Thanks for all of your kind comments.

Sorry, the orange flowers you can see are red geraniums. I'm no David Bailey.

[SueA]

Thanks BM, it is the geraniums (pelargoniums) which I meant, I can see what they are from the leaves now I look closely, I said orange but then I think I might be a bit colour blind!
I think your FIL did you a favour, it looks great, like real 'cottage garden' planting with the veg amongst the flowers & it's probably confused some of the pests who might have eaten the veg. otherwise!

Possibly, I never thought about it but they have been the best, none of the cabbages have been touched & were not netted. Must remember to put some in my beds next year. I put Pertunia & Marigold in my beds this year and must say have been really good as well.
