Garden Update # 2

So, I thought I would ease myself into this gardening thing. In addition to the "tough flowers" and the herbs purchased at the nursery, I also got several bags of potting mix. I got my five large terracotta pots (actually, four terracotta pots and one plastic terracotta-look-alike pot), filled them with the potting mix, popped in the herbs and...

...there you have a very satisfying little corner. I'm very happy about that.

As for that rogue marigold, if you remember this part of the garden that looks onto the trampoline...

...you will notice a couple of dodgy looking plastic chairs just to the right - a place to sit when supervising children on said trampoline.

That little space has been transformed into this, with thanks to the marigold!

That is a much better spot to sit and supervise trampoline shenanigans, complete with a place to put one's cup of tea. I have visions of sitting there in the mornings to read and pray with a cup of tea when the weather warms up too.

Well, that was a good start!
