I saw the hanging shelf in a book, it's a very good use of space. Growing vegetables is a constant battle but so good when you get to eat something you've grown.

Tete-a-tete with primroses...! <3 Your hanging shelf is intriguing; I've had so much rabbit trouble here that I've not even started a vegetable garden, despite occasionally ordering seeds with the best intentions. Must give it a try though!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-54306737362240592452017-03-07T13:01:57.423+00:002017-03-07T13:01:57.423+00:00You are so right.

My own Mahonia is long since bloomed out, another indication of the difference in our climates I guess.

The golden cordyalis foliage is such a good addition to the blooms. Clever idea to suspend a shelf for your seedlings - although I suspect it may not defeat the most determined of mice...;)Thanks for sharing AllisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-31778069687460559202017-03-06T21:29:46.401+00:002017-03-06T21:29:46.401+00:00Yes the mahonia smells very good. it drops petals ...Yes the mahonia smells very good. it drops petals quite quickly but I forgive it.

I like the way you used the outdoors as a backdrop for your arrangement.I always forget to use Mahonia, when it looks so good in a group and also smells nice. Your greenhouse looks ever so productive. joannahttps://june--2016.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
