The days are getting longer and temperatures are rising rapidly. I spend a lot of time in my two gardens. In one garden, which lies just outside the village, you can find various fruit trees and vines – but there are also lettuce and herbs.
I call him rhubarb garden, because this year I have planted a rhubarb plant (imported from Germany, I couldn’t find it here in Greece) and I sincerely hope that the plant feels comfortable.
In the past days, my husband and I have planted new vines there. If you look very closely, then you can see them in the background on the first picture.
On the left picture you can see a newly planted vine, a water bottle is dug down into the ground and this drains water directly to the roots.
Right: my small, but beloved rhubarb.

In the second garden, located on a hill above Soufli, solely vines are planted. On the picture below you can already see the first grapes.
One evening, my best friend Nina visited me and she had a surprise for Emily: Three sweet puppies!!!
The puppies played happily in the garden and I called Emily.
Emily was excited about the three puppies. She sat down right away and played with them.
Then I made a Dog Bag for the little ones.
The puppies felt very comfortable and were quite calm…
… and Emily was also happy because now she was able to take her puppies everywhere ♥
Pattern: Puppy with Dog Bag
Nina wrote the pattern for the puppies and I thank her with all my heart for this surprise! This year you will get to see more of her wonderful patterns.
In the next post you can find a basic equipment for the puppies and maybe a house.
Be surprised, see you soon, Karin
Oh Karin I LOVE the puppies so much. Also good luck with the rhubarb, I hope it grows well.
Thank you for the sweet comment! I have planted the rhubarb underneath a chestnut tree and I think it is too much shadow there. It grows kind of slow and I think I will replace the plant.
What a wonderful friend for Emily – and I just looove the carrying bag, too – thank you for posting this 🙂
I had so much fun crocheting the puppies from Nina. It is very easy to crochet and kind of relaxing. Only sewing the parts together is a little bit tricky. I also love the Dog Bag because it is not a round shape and the puppy fits perfectly in it. Thanks for the nice comment.
I’ve got a friend with 2 daughters who I think will adore this, so I’m really glad you posted it 🙂
Have fun crocheting the puppies!
Puppies in baskets – so cute!!! Emily is such a lucky doll!
It is not warm enough here yet to do planting but a lot of plants are in bloom, lots of green now. Next month it will be safe to put in flowers, garden veggies and such. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place you live in. And for sharing Emily’s adventures as well.
Gardening also reduces stress and improves mental health. I need both 🙂
I wish you a lot of fun with your garden!
OHHHHH thank you so, so sweet.And what i see, she has a new dress to , hihi
Hello, the dress is new, but not for her. Before I have crocheted Emily with Catania wool I made a doll with a bigger wool. I crocheted this dress for her, so the dress is a little bit too big for Emily, which you can’t see on the pictures 🙂 I’m happy that you like this post!!! Thanks for the sweet comment!
