In my post about Leaves From My Garden (07/04/17) I set myself a photographic and Gardening quest!
To not only have, each day, something growing in the garden that is interesting (leaf/flower/seed/colour) but to put that photo on Instagram. So even if you don’t have time to visit LFMG you will see a photo from me EVERY day. You can read the whole post and about the Garden Photo Challenge HERE
When I told my husband of the task I was setting myself, he was somewhat incredulous. So to prove him wrong, and to prove that even a small Garden can be interesting all year, I will be posting on Instagram every day! Ok, I know if I start now, in Spring, it should be easy but it also challenges me, (and gives me the time), to make sure that my garden can meet my goal too! Phew! Can I do it? I am certainly going to give it my best shot (pun intended!) You can visit my Instagram account HERE, then click the follow button so that you can follow my progress and whether I am ultimately successful.
