I spent the morning there at the beginning of the week and took a walk around the garden with the children. I only took a few pictures but wanted to share them as I have so many memories playing there.
As for our garden, the front garden has been dramatically transformed into a drive! Over the last two and a half days we have watched the wonky wall crash down, the enormous willow removed and the turf pulled up. We now have a drive! This is one of many changes that we will be making to the house over the next year. We have so many exciting things to come!
The vegetables are coming on nicely. We have harvested our first cucumbers, the peas and beans have now finished and have been replaced with winter root vegetables.
The sun flower is still growing! It is taller than our neighbour's garage and we still have no flower.
This is how our garden has grown this week...
Grandad's Garden
Our front garden has been replaced by a new drive!
As always I am sharing how our garden has grown with Manneskjur - How Does Your Garden Grow?
what a huge space!! and it looks like the weather has been quite lovely there. x
ReplyDeleteIt really was a dream garden as a child, we've had lovely weather recently for a change :-)
DeleteI really need to start thinking about my Winter veg, the Summer is moving on scarily quickly. That pink hydrangea is huge - very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt is scary how quick the year is flying by isn't it
DeleteSo handy to have the driveway now, I bet? I'm happier with just a small patch out front and somewhere to park! Your grandad's garden looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteSo much easier with a drive. We don't have to worry about not being able to park anymore. The front did get neglected as theres always so muuch to do in the back so it has saved us some work :-) x
DeleteWell done on growing that sunflower. All ours were eaten by something! Your grandad's garden and your driveway both look fantastic! #hdygg
ReplyDeleteIt was the only one that survived out of the first 5 that went in. Can't wait to see how tall it finally gets x
DeleteGran dad's garden looks brilliant-so much space!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great space :-)
DeleteYour new drive looks very smart and I'm glad your hydrangea has survived. I hope you took with you some happy memories of your grandad's garden. It looks enormous!
ReplyDeleteI was adamant that the hydrangea stayed, I love the colour it bring to the front
DeleteGranddads garden is huge!
ReplyDeleteA gravel drive way, one way to cut down on the mowing!
We loved the garden as kids, it was a great space to run in!
DeleteBig changes in your front garden then! Loving your hydrangea bush, the bright colour against the pale gravel looks good.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's loads of space in Grandads garden - perfect playing space, no wonder you have such good memories of it :)
Thanks for joining in again - and have a lovely weekend xx
Grandads garden was a dream as a child, full of hiding places and things to explore. I was adamant that the hydrangea stayed as I love the colour it brings to the front x
