MINWORKS,GARDEN,WORKS!

A quick hello to everyone and a special treat that is free to all and goes down good!  My dear friend Janine whom most know as being the proud owner of a most marvelous blog,  MINWORKS, has just completed the vegetable plot of her unbelievably beautiful courtyard garden!  While Janine designed and planned the features, Bruce her faithful sidekick and adoring husband,( who is incredibly handy with his hands and with a camera,)  has built the side garden as a removable and independent addition.  It can be easily lifted off or on as needed with ingenious sliding supports to allow for stability.  Bruce's latest contributions have been the new kitchen door to the garden, a light over the door, the construction of the stone walls and the gates leading into it.  It looks fantastic!  Janine has now dressed the garden to look inhabited and reflect the other passion of her life,( next to her family) and that is gardening.  She is a real life gardener and all the knowledge and the skills that she has in abundance is reflected in the most desirable of mini gardens, where the chores are confined to picking ripe pears in the sun and shooing away drunken bees lolling in the lavender and Cleo the cat, who is where ever Janine is and insists upon being included in the action.  Bruce has made this little garden a sun catcher, by the way he took the photos, and the wheelbarrow is currently abandoned while he and Janine go inside for a bite of lunch only to return soon and continue the garden tidy up.  The garden is detailed  down to the last bit of gravel and undrained water in the fountain, and no paving stone is left unturned to enable each visitor the luxury of picturing themselves lazing the days away on the lounge by the clematis, somewhere in Provence!
