Roses

My roses that I planted last year against one of my fences has just started flowering. I’m not sure what the name of this one is but it’s one of 4 that one of my neighbours gave me when he bought the property, he didn’t want them so he gave them to me.

B and I finally got around to using up some spare planks of wood we had lying on the lawn to make a barrier around my vegetable garden. For over a month I’ve been growing pumpkins from seed that I collected last Autumn and when they had grown I had transferred them into the garden along with some other seedlings I bought in town only to have the chickens constantly digging them up. Now they can’t get in. I’m hoping that what’s there now has a better chance.

I don’t know if any of you are wondering about the name of this blog and why I called it what it is. Well….my mum has a twin (my aunt) that I’ve always been very very close too – she has called me Amypie my entire life as an affectionate nickname so there you go.

Linking up with Mosaic Monday, Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

  1. That will act as a windbreak as well, not just keep the chooks out.

    A beautiful rose. I like those with more intense colours

  2. Ik heb heel wat planten gehad maar altijd weinig rozen. Ze wildenhet bij mij nooit zo goed doen.
