Sunny day out. RHS flower show

This post is mainly picture. ... we were at the flower show in Bute Park in Cardiff. Here is what we saw and enjoyed looking at.                   The RHS makes a lovely day out. Weather was glorious, flowers were fragrant, what more can you wish on your weekend in April.  They also have good few kiddie activities. We're we're even newly hatched chicks for little ones to look at, story time... If you think they only have flowers and garden stuff you are mistaken, there is also a food quarter and bunch of craft stalls. We will be going again next year! Will you? 

Our beautiful garden

It has been a really long time since we had a garden.  When we were looking for a place here in Birmingham one of major requirement we had was to have a garden. These Marigolds are huge now! It is actually super fun to plant stuff and watch it grow... would be better if Daisy did not like to eat the plants and neighbors cat didn't like to do its dirty business between geraniums! But it is beautiful!  I find it rather peaceful to weed it.... and enjoy watching tomato plants growing tomatoes, aubergines getting into the bloom and munching the strawberries off the plant.  Two problems, noisy neighbors and not enough sunshine. The last I guess the whole of UK problem. There are a lot of flowers on aubergines, I guess we will be eating a lot of them soon!
