i like having dirty hands

nan & harry gave us HEAPS of plant cuttings so today garden beds were cleared and in they went. also planted my chrystanthemum's in the ground (which i've never done before!)

found rocket in there amongst the weeds!

lets hope all the cuttings take...
(and thanks to the gardening fairy who helped me!)

amazing crocheted rugs by Kiteweather

amazing because:

a) people just don't use colour like this ENOUGH!
