I decided to make use ofthe old sink that had outgrown it's first use as a herb garden. I keep herbs by the back door, and the plants in the sink were always neglected.I decided to turn it into an alpine garden, which was surprisingly easy to do.I had already built up a collection of old stones and pebbles; and the garden had some gravel.I bought 2 plants from a garden center at £2.50 each and two more from a car boot sale at £1.50 each! So the whole thing cost less than £10 to make, since I used my own compost! Very good value don't you think?

I decided to buy some faerie ears , from my favourite faerie shop in Halifax, The Friendly Dragon. They were five pounds,and I realise I should have bought more to give to friends!

Whilst tidying Ian's garden in Halifax, I found a snakeshead! I was very pleased to find a whole bunch of white ones at the bottom of the garden too....who knows, one day I may also find faeries.....
