Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day & Hodge Podge Friday

At work, across from vegetables, in the shrub and tree lot, we have a pond. It's where we send everyone to go to talk about trees and shrubs. It's a key meeting point and everyyear we plant stuff into it. Well, last year, one of the employees pulled a lot of stuff out, cut back and opened up the garden so I could go in there and plant the hell out of this garden with bulbs. Here's the result of autumn planting.

You bet it was a lot of work.

Hodge Podge Friday

My lastest purchase! I was originally going to buy a flat of Angelo's Garlic but I decided that I wanted the kettle more than the garlic. They've been walking out of the garden centre without people batting an eyelash to what's in it. Peppermint, Spearmint and Pineapple mint, three mints that i'm not too crazy about but honestly? The pot is cool! AND it has holes in the bottom for drainage and I have to give them props because most pot companies don't put holes in the bottom and sell pots as decorative rather than practical. I LOVE this pot. Love it!
