Thanks for the reminder! I'm not sure it looks pink, but it's certainly nice and big!
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!

Today I got some new notebooks for my garden journal - I couldn't decide which design I liked best, so I bought both!
I had hoped that my first one would last 2 years, but I started it last April and I only have enough space for May and maybe June. I do enjoy keeping track of what I sow, even if it occasionally results in failure - it's all a learning experience!
(The middle "notebook" is not gardening-related - I just took a photo of the whole order to show off to my stationery-loving friends)

Very posh Eyren, puts my Tesco's cheap A5 ring bound scribble book to shame. I bet yours has lovely neat handwriting too, unlike mine.

Happy today at becoming a Grandad for the ninth time! I am also very honoured that they have included my first name in the babies name.
Mother and Son are doing well and I look forward to seeing my Grandson when they leave hospital.

I do try to keep it legible, so future me can still read it years down the line! Some pages are really neat, like this calendar page (note I did not draw the bumblebees - they're on a decorative tape):
OK, so it's all a bit fancy, but this is a sort of adjunct hobby to my gardening hobby - I don't have a lot of time at the moment to draw or paint (because gardening), so I put some effort on my garden notes instead. I'm usually good at starting notebooks but never finishing them, so it's been a lovely surprise to find I'm reaching the end of this current one!
Beautiful Eyren, I think you're one of the many talented artistic members here. Now me, I've not got an artistic bone anywhere and really appreciate the skill of others. Any paintings you'd like to share?

Thank you! And sure - never one to hide my light under a bushel
This is a Black-eyed Susan I drew for an online class in coloured pencil drawing (I think I posted it ages ago when we were discussing the banner art for this site, but maybe that was on the temporary site?):
and this is a watercolour sketch I did in the Cambridge Botanic Gardens in February 2020, just before the world went to hell in a handbasket - it was freezing cold that day, so I had to work really fast!
I also do urban sketching, but that's not so relevant to a gardening forum!
