How does your garden grow? July 24th #HDYGG?
HDYGG? – July 24th
July 24th – I went outside with the intention of taking photos of the garden for this week’s HDYGG? post. I got distracted by the girls playing in the paddling pool so I only managed 2 garden photos. It kind of turned into a Country Kids post!
A buddleia is growing in amongst the weeds at the top of the garden. At first, I thought I must have planted the one that got damaged in the move but it’s growing up between the stones where the other greenhouse used to be so I know I didn’t plant anything there.
I’ll be re-homing it when we do the garden because it’s in the place where the pond is going to go.
After the buddleia, I noticed the sweet peas had actually grown and what was even more exciting, they had flowers on! These are the first sweet peas I’ve ever grown so I’m really happy with them ๐
I was going to take some photos of the hydrangea plants next. That’s when the girls distracted me!
They spent ages playing out in the pool and the tent as it was such a hot day. It was so lovely to sit in the shade and watch them playing nicely together.
Post like this makes me wish for a garden! So much fun in there and you really dont need to go far to have fun outdoors =) #countrykids
The best days are spent just messing around in the garden. Lovely post
I do love the sweet peas and they have such a lovely fragrance too. Lovely to see the girls having a wonderful time in the summer sunshine with some great water fun. Thanks for linking up and sharing their fun with Country Kids.
You have such a wonderful garden! I wish I had such good green fingers as you do! x
Oh this reminds me to join with gardening linky… why I always forget? silly me
It has been the perfect week for garden fun hasn't it! I love buddleia , we have a huge one in the courtyard downstairs and it's swarming with butterflies!
Flowers look lovely!
There must be a tent craze going on – keep seeing them pop up in posts!
Ah they look like they are having so much fun in the sun! I need to get a pump for Baby's pool x
Beautiful flowers! I had good intentions of gardening today however with it being so nice I decided to leave it and headed strawberry picking instead!
Sweet peas are my favourite flowers, they look gorgeous and smell devine.
I don't blame you for getting distracted by the girls playing, its so lovely to see kiddies playing.
I adore sweet peas but never grown my own – I can only imagine how much more special planting and seeing them grow yourself must be! It's such paddling pool weather isn't it? I may have nearly melted today.
Hope you are enjoying the summer hols so far – thanks for joining in again xxx
your girlies are adorable! I can see why you would easily get distracted by their antics. ๐
The sweet peas are lovely, hoping ours pick up a bit more.
So nice to see your girls enjoying the garden, certainly the weather for enjoying the outdoors
And why not get distracted, I notice lots of people's shots widening and even featuring some cheeky young plants this week ๐ We have so many rogue buddleias, my god they can grow fast though!
Your sweet peas look lovely, hope they smell nice! Looks like your girls enjoyed playing in the sun ๐
