My elderberry bushes pop up babies from runners underground and next year I will pot them to sell or give away. My two big bushes give me more than enough berries for the 2 of us.

Here I'm Nova Scotia Canada those were deemed essential. Because hardware stores you need to buy stuff to fix things in your home and garden centres are used for growing your own food and also the betterment of your mental health. <br /><br />I hope they open soon for you. <br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272909221294270344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-73564385725930323932021-10-22T22:32:57.919+11:002021-10-22T22:32:57.919+11:00Your garden is beautiful Wendy, and such a credit ...Your garden is beautiful Wendy, and such a credit to you both having such a pretty garden on such a small budget....well done.

It is amazing sometimes how big things can grow before I notice them. We have lots of herbs that seed themselves around, but this year was the first in 30+ years of gardening that I found a self-seeded lavender. Usually I take cuttings. Our lockdown gardening took the form of moving things about that we already had, planting seeds from old packets in whatever pots and soil we had to hand and enjoying the short films made by amateur gardeners showing how they were coping on the BBC programme Gardeners World.Tracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-19813150687218024952021-10-20T17:34:46.192+11:002021-10-20T17:34:46.192+11:00I forgot to add that my granddaughter loves her po...I forgot to add that my granddaughter loves her pot plants and her other grandparents have given her a real garden at the age of just four.<br /><br />I forgot to say I am so encouraged by. your stories of gardening and making do.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-24002148785630631372021-10-20T15:11:23.680+11:002021-10-20T15:11:23.680+11:00I am afraid I have managed to use my non green thu...I am afraid I have managed to use my non green thumb and not been as successful as I should have been. We do have herbs growing again and I need to extend the range. At present there is lemon grass, Greek basil, ordinary basil, lemon balm, flat and curly parsley, rosemary and some very sad peas that do not like heat. I can spend so much on herbs that is well worth the effort to grow some.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-71241479665855504292021-10-20T10:58:13.216+11:002021-10-20T10:58:13.216+11:00Your garden looks lovely Wendy.

They reproduce so quickly and easily, and I put them on the local buy/sell group at reasonable prices. The plants I sell enables me to purchase other items at the garden centre for free from the money I got from selling my plants, so it's a win/win sitaution for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-56373332161467576692021-10-20T08:51:24.813+11:002021-10-20T08:51:24.813+11:00Succulents :)
