Conditioner for the soul!

It truly is hard work remodeling the garden i bought last year, but it also is like conditioner for the soul working the garden.

I have enjoyed a few days of great warm and sunny days in the garden:


As soon as the sun comes out, my fingers itch to get out there and start preparing my dream of a garden.
I ordered a bunch of seeds from Isabella Smith and  Frøbutikken.

All the seeds was delivered to my mail box really quickly. Frøbutikken delivered in this gorgeous package with a little somethin extra :-)






So while I wait for the weather to get ready for sewing all this wonderful flowers and vegetables, there is a lot of hard work to be done in the garden.

I decided to take it section by section. First step: make room for a small greenhouse.

The perfect spot: Backside of the shed. So let's start there.

Here are some Before and After photos:

Before: This is how it looked, when I took over the garden



First task: Clear away all weed...


Made a clean a border, but the shed itself looks a little worn:



Let's paint. My daughter Isabel is helping out. Good job, girl!
... And here we are, all ready for the greenhouse.




We still need the last piece of border. In front of the roses we planted Ironcrosses and I aim to make the rose grow on an espalier on the shed..... Guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

So for now, have a nice weekend.
