Posted in Our Wedding

What gorgeous weather we are having at the moment, it has been a glorious day and a brilliant one for gardening too.  Andrew has been busy creating some borders in the garden and in one of the borders I have now started a herb garden.  At the moment, I have planted Rosemary, Basil (though this is not doing too well), Tarragon, Thyme, Sage, Oregano and Parsley.  I also have some garden mint and black peppermint growing in a tub near by.

As well as the herb garden, we have planted Tomato plants, Runner Beans, Dwarf Beans, Squash, Courgettes (Zucchini), Sweetcorn (Including baby sweetcorn) and peppers. We also have various types of salad leaves and lettuce growing both in tubs and soil. 

I have yet to plant carrots, Salad leaves, Beetroot (Beets) and I brussel sprouts.  And we have planted an eatting apple tree, plum tree, Raspberry canes and strawberries.  My sister is taking us to a brilliant garden centre near to where she resides next week where she is going to be us another fruit tree as our wedding gift.

Wow, I have just heard a cuckoo in the garden and this is the first one I have heard so far this year. Ok, where was I, Andrews garden, this is really coming on very nicely and I cant wait to do some more planting and to do more on the borders.  Andrew has a 140 - 150 ft garden so it is very long :)

We are planning at some stage to get plant some more raspberry canes and possibly some other fruits too - all in all it is exciting being able to plan, plant and watch what is happening.  It is amazing to think that out of a few seeds, these grow and produce wonderful vegetables and fruits - God is just so amazing

We have also planted some sunflower seeds and various wild flowers and poppies (these by the way of one of my favourite flowers) - Poppies are just so beautiful and very rich and vibrant in colour.  I don't particularly care for sunflowers by the way so I did let Andrew but said that he has to put them at the top of the garden - of course he knew I was only joking he he.

I will try and post some photos over the weekend of the garden.

On other notes, wedding plans are going very nicely and we have a lot of things organised now so it is mainly tidying up that we need to do and a few last minute things.  We have been so blessed so far it is great.

I also have a friend who is organising a Bridal Shower for me at her home on Saturday 14th June and bless her, she is opening up her home. This same friend and her husband will be organising the worship for our wedding/blessing service.

We were also blessed today in the fact we were sent a pre-wedding gift of a Marriage Preparation Course on both CD and in booklet form.  What an awesome blessing.  Andrew and I will be setting time apart to study the Marriage Preparation Course over the next couple of weeks or so.

Well, that is it for now - and only five weeks on Saturday and time is going by so very quickly now - wow
