Reawakening
Amid
the virus, I did upcycle
Recycle,
a new revival!
And
thought well, no holiday
For a
few months anyway.
I
planted plants, painted pots,
New
enthusiasm, planning lots!
Used
pallets for shelves -
With
no cost to myself!
Strawberries,
runner beans
Spinach
and lettuce greens.
Tomatoes
seeds to grow
Pots
of flowers on the patio.
And
amid the Covid hysteria
Planted
two trees of Wisteria!
To
climb a pergola (from eBay)
Been
having quite a field day!
Some
catnip for cats,
Two
homes for bats,
An
insect hotel
For
insects to dwell.
A
table for bird food
But
the pigeons are shrewd,
And
fat!
Closely
watching is my cat...
And
from early sunrise
I
attract butterflies
With
overripe fruit
They
are so beautifully cute.
And
the builder that chucked
HIs
rubbish, got reconstruct.
Huge
slabs of concrete
Made
the garden look complete
And on
the contrary
His
trash made a rockery!
With
somewhere to sit
Made
from big logs I admit
A
house for hedgehogs
A
small pond for frogs
With a
pink water Lilly
That
is so pretty!
A
teapot in the plum tree
For
birds to nest shared with bees
Didn't
need a degree!
Just a
gardening wannabee!
Some
Lavender given
The
bees are driven.
Bulbs
for meadows -
Was
given a rambling rose
For
the side of the abode.
The
seeds I've sowed!
From
late Sept,
Autumn,
Winter, it slowly crept
And
the garden looked dead.
Stayed
Indoors instead.
Now
Spring is here
Life
has started to reappear;
Upcycling
has begun!
With
so much more be done!
The
climbers, shrubs, garden cover
Other
useful tips just discovered.
With
no plans for holiday trips.
I
welcome any gardening tips!
