Self care by growing a garden

Self care by growing a garden

A SOS to any green thumbs out there

I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

Lot of memories there @Shaz51?

In a previous house I planted one section of the garden with favorite plants that my family members particularly like or remembered enjoying in their childhood. Climate not suitable for some. Am thinking I have a spot free where this exercise could be repeated and perhaps a bit more successfully.

Oh @Shaz51 ... 😢

My mind on a completely different trail, was thinking of gerbera, hibiscus, snapdragons and Rosella jelly from the garden of my childhood, of snowball trees and fragrant red roses ....

Not too bad today. Some of the rain finally found our area, so I had an inside day doing some overdue housework. Made some progress, lots more to do. How has your day been?

Had a fairly busy day @Smc
Had work either side of an eye specialist appointment for hubby.
Late showers here. Probably won't get to do anything in the garden until the weekend.
