Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

Bistro Yard 2011 - June sees the flowers start to blossom
I went for pinks and reds mainly this year, for a colour theme, and have tried to avoid plants that are attacked by aphids or slugs. So no more petunias and instead busy lizzies, geraniums and fuschia mainly, let me know what you think! I do need to do some weeding, the rear of the yard which is tiled is particular prone to dandelions.

It looks lovely Lou, must be down to the person who gave them their first watering. LOL
It was my turn on the rota to water our plants on display in Walton Vale for Warbreck in Bloom last Friday.
They are coming on a treat.
One problem though.. I watered them at rush hour, I'm sure some of the passing cars thought I was on community payback!!!
Colin - you are so right, they would all be dead if it weren't for your baptism. You should come for tea soon and eat in the yard and admire your handywork!
Les - LOL, get yourself a dayglow jacket with "volunteer - not on probation" written on the back!
