Rhubarb time 🥧 And a little more garden progress in the allotment area! We’ve got another heap of weeding done and some beds together, planted up with the spring sown ranunculus 🌸🌿

Documenting my daffs 💛 These cheery flowers have brought so much joy to the garden and house this Spring! My favourite varieties to grow for both garden and cutting are Replete, Pink Charm, Blushing lady, Geranium & Thalia 🌼 And a primrose from my Mum & Dad’s garden on the other side of the country ☺️

Weekends in the garden 🌿 Here’s some words I’ve not said in a while, but there’s a new post on the blog! My website has had a much needed revamp, for which my amazingly talented friend @clairepauldraws has illustrated our wee cottage and I’m obsessed!! So head over to check it out and for a gardening post which includes our plans and a little tour of the new, pre renovated garden! 🏡🌿

The workshop is ready for Easter 💛 Chimney pots

The workshop is ready for Easter 💛 Chimney pots we uncovered planted with tulips and a quick fix of weed fabric and some big bags of gravel, purely to keep the weeds at bay this Summer until we restore the barn and figure out plans for this part of the garden! 🌿

Exploring the grounds of Old Westhall Castle today

Exploring the grounds of Old Westhall Castle today with @scotlandgardenscheme 🏰 This castle and garden is in the very early stages of restoration, having recently been purchased to save it from falling into a state of complete disrepair after lying empty for years. A fascinating place which was a treat to visit, what a project!! 🏚🌿

Spring wreathing in the old barn 💛 Needing all the Spring spirit we can get with this weather! So this one full of narcissi bulbs is for the front door just in time for Easter 🐣 There’s a wreath for every season! 🌿

Little cottage corners coming together 🧹 After

Little cottage corners coming together 🧹 After a busy March, it was lovely to have a weekend at home getting some sorting done! This is the bedroom we’re currently living in as ours has a bit to go yet. These upstairs rooms were damp due to a leaky roof and chimneys but once those were sorted and they were dried out, the walls were plastered, floors sanded and ready for decorating! We still have bits to do like get some shutters made and build a window seat, but all in good time 🥰
