Show me your Garden

'Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.' (Alfred Austin)

I am a bit worried about this quote as it will show that I am chaotic, random, untamed, unkempt and a right messy so and so.

There are many 'to do' things in my garden. I know that I need to prune and mow and weed and generally tidy up but I just always find reasons not to!

I quite like the way nature takes over and does its own thing. I will eventually get my garden

up 'to standard' although I can say without a doubt that I will never have a perfectly manicured
lawn or a neat beds of flowers. That's a good thing eh?

Anyway I like to think that my garden is a nature reserve. My cat likes it that way too.

Isn't that the fluffiest tail you have ever seen?

My ginger boy, happy and at one with nature.

  6. I didn't see you lurking in the undergrowth! Thanks for visiting me in the garden. I spend all my time just keeping my wild garden under control, that is all you can do. No two gardens are the same, and you have the garden how you and the cat like it! x

  10. Hello ..Thank you for your visit and kind comments about my garden.
    Your quote worries me too..
    I think my garden just proves how neurotic I am... Never 100% satisfied and totally indecisive!
    I love natural gardens and nature always does it best.
    Your cat is a very handsome beast!

  11. My garden will never be manicured either. I tend to let nature take its course, which also lets me off the hook a lot!
