With the rain confining me within warm, dry doors I have been day-dreaming about what I want my garden to look like when I have re-grown my green thumb, in a manner of speaking. With carpets of violets and baby’s tears, the cool marble of an ivy covered statue to the warm sunlight as it filters though the greenery of surrounding trees onto patches of pansies like Nan always grows. Bursts of colour from foxgloves and bluebells and “wild flowers” shaded by the ferns to roses of many a colour in full bloom. And tucked away in a corner, my little vegetable garden.

How I did it: Over the last few years I have opened other blogs only to post one thing then forget about it. This time I made it a goal to keep this one up to date and post at least once a week. So far so good. Look around at the different blogging sites to find one that is right for you. I like wordpress but you may like blogger or some other such site. Its all a matter of personal preference. Read through their help guides if your a first timer, I fo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: The best thing about producing your own food is anyone can do it, no matter the amount of space one has to use. You can even do it on an apartment balcony if you wish.

I went shopping today and found a lovely pair of very nice Victorian-style boots. I also finally got my beautiful under-bust corset, yay! Laugh, I had a very Victorian shopping trip. The corset has turned out to be much more feminine than I expected, with delicate lace around the bottom. I haven’t been out of it all day. When the damn camera is working on my phone, I shall post a picture of both my new acquisitions for all you lovely ladies to see.
I stood in my “garden” yesterday and had a good look at it. The first thought that entered my head was “Its dead!” most of my garden had been turned into vegetable patches, that are starting to die out. I need to find a balance between vegetables and flowers.
