In my garden i have a tiny vegetable patch, all the veg are grown from seed, and i have Cleo, my Leopard Tortoise. We also have lots of bird feeders and many, many Starlings!!! Just waiting for all my flowers to bloom ๐Ÿ˜ ![20230528_193447](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/treehouse/original/2X/1/1abdd2de1a03999f228b02a402e461216c856c0f.jpeg) ![20230514_110023](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/treehouse/original/2X/5/50b8459840fd9a56dbd052b4e30706710d750e42.jpeg) ---

I would love a garden but dont have one. Instead i rent an allotment which was a lifesaver to go to during Covid and when the tourist season makes the town heaving with visitors, too much for me sometimes Cleo is a handsome tortoise! ---

One year i found a toad in my allotment so i made him a little pond to swim in with steps to get out and made him a shelter. Ungrateful Mr Toad bug\*\*\*ed off! Had a frog in the following year but nothing since. Pond probably not luxurious enough - somewhat โ€˜bijouโ€™ ! ---

Well first upโ€ฆ hereโ€™s valerian to wish you a good morning!

I used to have a staffie, her name was Tazzy. She was amazing with the children, she would lay by their cots until they woke, a priper Nanny dog. We had her for 15 years, and still miss her ---

We planted it last year, just sort of stuck it in the ground where there was a space and itโ€™s more than doubled in size this year! Itโ€™s massive, colourful and impressive! And it helps me to forget about the swathes of my neighbours ivy thatโ€™s threatening to choke the rest of the garden! ---

Awh, lupins, theyre so beautiful, one of my favourites, but unfortunately a favourite of the snails ๐ŸŒ in my garden too. I also love delphiniums and foxgloves, all the country garden flowers. ---

Youโ€™re clearly more organised than us, @Sunflower. We have a long, narrow garden (typical London terrace) which used to host annual garden parties for 20 odd friends and now resembles a jungle, with around 15 Acerโ€™s vying for supremacy, a lilac that shields us from nosey neighbours during the Summer and a โ€˜lawnโ€™ that, for reasons unknown, has refused to grow this year! ---

Oh crikey, not at all. I was surprised that any of them grew as they were mostly out of date seeds. I would love an organised garden, it will get there one day ๐Ÿ˜Š [Next page](https://treehouse.sofi.health/t/what-do-you-have-in-your-garden-that-makes-you-smile/7979.md?page=2)
