Prosecco is also featuring here this evening @Lizzie27 😀
watered the blueberries, picked some flowers for the dinner table and I’ve just been out watching the newts in the pond! The newts I didn’t know were there and the newts that are no doubt responsible for the demise of all the tadpoles! So... we have a newt pond and that’s fine! I actually find them more fun to watch than frogs. Spotted 4 this evening.. one male frantically displaying to the females who are just running away lol! Poor chap..
Hello , afternoon in garden edged lavender bush and tied up daffs , I know they say not to but if I don’t they flop on to the plants around them and they don’t like it Drink with next door on there lawn before dinner 🥂 I hope everybody else has had a good day 😉
@Janie B it will be fine as lots of flat ground, some paths but hard pushing in places. Flat parking easy entrance. Not too big but plenty to see and lots of bargains. Two areas to stop for tea or eats and one inside area to look around. Might be a bit busier with the dog bit open too but plenty of area to spread out in. Go but take a big purse as lots of lovely plants in beautiful condition.
Family day today, however I did manage to get out this evening to plant more module grown beetroot and radish. Spurred on by the sight of mummy robin feeding a young one - although I don't think it nested in our garden - we just feed them.
I finished edging the lawn but that was it. Went to Sister’s for afternoon - she loved the planter of geraniums and trailing pansies I made up for her.
Did do a lot of garden sawing up pampus grass, hard going and trying to avoid the bees they have got a nest in a few bits, mostly all at tip as went 4 times today try get rid of it fast to clear garden the area will be a seating area for garden, not been that many times in a day for a good while
@Purplerallim loving the tree stump planted up great choice of plants - really like plant shopping
Thanks @Gardengirl.. really enjoyed looking at alpines as I don't usually have a place for them, lots more to choose than I realized. Will probably add a bit more especially at the back.
Didn't do anything yesterday as Secondborn came with family to celebrate Jonah's third birthday. Spent a lot of time lying on the grass with him watching tadpoles etc in the pond. Will probably get to spend some time gardening this afternoon after visiting mum. Lovely little alpine garden @purplerallim.
Isn't that the best sort of gardening Yvie - enjoying it with a younger generation, I am sure he will remember the happy times spent with his grandparents for many years to come.
This morning I prepared a hole for the new rose I received for Easter from eldest daughter, potted up more cucumber and parsley plants, planted out 30+ beetroot seedlings, fed the birds, disturbed two rats in one of compost heaps, got the cat to sniff them out but the silly cat just walked away! (actually he is adorable and is obviously too well fed) sorry to rat lovers - I am not one of them.
