Blooming marvellous in the garden

Thanks for visiting me on Tuesday and your kind comments about my GD card for Ladybugs Craft Ink. I gave you a couple of photos at the end of the post showing two of my pots in the garden and I thought I would show you a few more as it really is that time of the year where the garden is just singing.

I have some really gorgeous purple petunia

My tomatoes are fruiting,

                                          my heart sings when I see these little fellows growing.

I have planted sweet corn again, this one is in a pot and the ears have appeared already.

I have mange tout growing with my runner beans

 and even in a hanging basket with a geranium

and I even spied a new rose blossom on my patio rose

I had a tidy up out in my tiny garden after work yesterday afternoon and of course my little helper was never far away

 My sweet Billy rolling over and over and getting very dusty

 but loving the sunshine.

The weather yesterday afternoon was much better than forecast which was a real bonus to come home to after work. It's the weekend again, hooray. We have a quiet one planned catching up on lots of things at home and I hope to pot on my tomatoes to their final pots and pot up one last pot of flowers to have down near my studio. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find time to enjoy some time outside whether in your own gardens or out and about. 

My card today is inspired by my garden and uses one of Ignacio's wonderful roses printed images.This one is from the Henderson's blooms set available here

I decided to use some burlap to give it a real vintage garden feel. My granddad used to have sacks which he stored things gardening things in and even the smell of it transports me back to early childhood in my granddad's garden.

Here are a couple of close ups 

I added a vintage flower charm too.
