Rare for me to have this many blooms at once.

We had two large raised beds on the back hill of our yard, but critters were getting into the beds and eating our veggies… so this year I tore down the second bed and am building an 8x12 greenhouse in its place.
Still working on the interior and accessories. I put down weed barrier and am going to build a U-shaped planter box around the perimeter that allows drainage but is protected against burrowing critters.
Putting solar panels on the far end of the roof for ventilation fans and some little atmospheric lights. Have a thermostat/hydrometer coming in that will report back to my wife’s phone. The other bed I plan on just putting wild flowers in so it will look good. There will be some poles to allow other hanging plants inside as well.

File is too big but we have a run at the side which is large and there's no obvious use for it so strimmed it down a while back and have let it go wild since, it's now a nice wild meadow with lots of buttercups and ferns. I'm enjoying my little container ponds so next year I may dig out and make a proper pond there.

They smell so good, if you like roses. Go ahead, scratch it.

Lovely.
Our neighbours are all old and lovely, I was out the front doing some work and one of them shouted "John" (not my name) "come over here I've got something for you"
He takes me round the back and hands over 4 sunflowers that he's not got the space for. I was really touched.
Now I need to decide where they go - back of the rear lawn to hide the mash of brambles and rubble we inherited or to the side at my little wildflower meadow, which is looking lovely just now - full of buttercups and ferns and the like.
My little whisky barrel pond is coming on too, the mini Waterlily has already reached the surface.

My meadow is looking nice too (file again too large to post!) lots of buttercups and Welsh grasses. That runs down the full west side of the garden. Google says I've to cut it back late Summer with a strimmer or scythe (seems like a fun excuse to buy a scythe!) I miiiiiiiiight dig a section out and make a bigger, proper pond as my 2 little container ponds are doing great.
