Dutch city garden

Dear little soul

Your Soul Papa has been working hard in our little postage-stamp sized garden to make it nice for you, all year! He has also been trying to get it looking spic and span in the hope that the Soul Nanna and Soul Pop will come for a visit from Australia - which they are! They are avid gardeners, and while I'm a black thumb, maybe Soul Papa has the makings of a green thumb in him.

I don't have a lot of 'before' shots - this is what the garden looks like.

We hope you get hours of enjoyment in it this summer, with us, and with Soul -Oma, -Opa, and -Nanna and -Pop.
Enjoying your company in the garden
The thistle leaf that looks like a dragon's head
A bright little visitor sits on the fence
 Plants thrive in the boxes
We're still getting this miniature roses
 The birds ate all our wild strawberries before I had a chance to taste even one!




 You and I can sit here in the afternoons to enjoy the late low sun
