This week is National Gardening Week, and the focus of this year's week is to "Help New Gardener's to Grow" so as I've been collecting lots of gardening inspiration lately, what better time to share it than now? So as well as the inspiration, I'm also sharing my gardening to do list - as there's always something more to do, just like anything else. And if all that sounds like too much work, just scroll to the bottom of this post where I'm sharing nine recent photos from my garden.

My gardening to do list

Clean the greenhouse - tick - we did that on Sunday.
Plant on those giant fuchsias - tick - they're snug in the clean greenhouse.
Sit in the garden and enjoy just looking at it - tick - another one from Sunday, let's hope the lovely weather returns soon.
Start sowing some seeds: tomatoes, sunflowers, chillies, beans, herbs and some flowers too.
Wait (impatiently) for my potatoes and onions to arrive.
Continue to collect toilet rolls to sow sweet peas in.
Source a small-ish pallet for my latest craft project idea.
Mark out where the gabion seating wall will go, and how many we'll need.
Take more of our leaf mulch over to the allotment.
