Kate, Cosmos! Why didn't I think of that. I have lots of different pinks and whites growing from seed. Poppies too! Doh! Perfect, they can just sit on top and waft about prettily until the end of the season, be pulled up, and then top dress and mulch the tulips underneath. You're a genius!
Wintersong, I like the sound of that combination. The Aquilegia underplanted with the Lady's Mantle, and it's frothy, limey green-ness. Might steal that idea .
I was rained off from work on Saturday, so spent the afternoon playing around trying to find somewhere for the latest sculpture that I made last week, then spent the rest of the rainy weekend weeding, removing buried rubble from under patches of the lawn, then repairing the damage. I even found time to finally get some planting started on the veg plot.
Eddie I love the sculptures, do you do commissions?
Thanks for the kind words Kate.
I have recently started to take on commisions and whilst I work with oak everyday for a living as a timber framer, my real passion and love is for sculpture and one day I hope to be able to give up the timber framing completely to concentrate solely on sculpture and garden art. I just find it so satisfying and mentally rewarding. My problem is that I don't want to part with any of them.
This is another piece that I did a few weeks ago, and I'm currently quite keen to develop this theme further.
My next project is this little creature of the deep. I can't wait to get started on it.
I'd forgotten that I also found time over the weekend to give this simple garden bench a further coat of Danish oil. I now just need to finish the wall!

Yvie, the thing about a small garden is you soon learn to double plant.

I can see your dilemma, it must be hard to give them up when you have spent so much time on them.

I even find it hard to part with things like this simple deer. I want to keep them all.
