My hubby's hobby is gardening, and particularly flowers. In 2008 he got a Diploma for the display he created, but last month he was presented with the 2009 3rd prize in the Concours Floralies for the Department. He is chuffed as the 1st and 2nd places went to professionals. So now he wants to improve! and we start seed sowing in about 4/5 weeks.
Here are some photos - bear with me, there quite a few!

Congrats to your Hubby! What beautiful magic he has performed! when I imagine France, your photos are what always comes to mind. My sweet husband is talented like that also, he has turned our little piece of Colorado clay into something more fertile that I always wanted, but never believed was possible.
