The garden Club in Enfield has it's annual sale on. We went to see if we could find a replacement for our wisteria that has died. The ones there were all large & already trained over various structures, & even at sale prices too expensive. We came away with 2 blue hydrangeas, an Echinacea, some cyclamen, & some violas- oops!
Good morning allĀ āļøĀ its a glorious morning and temperatures are rising out there. Some plants looked a bit sad in the warmth yesterday and an rushed session with the hosepipes took place mid afternoon ... think Iād better plan things better today and get an earlier watering session in.Ā Have a lovely day all šĀ

Ive just been down to the Boots in Wrose for my prescription and bought some other bits and pieces to ensure we donāt starve over the bank holiday weekend, including two of the biggest and juiciest pork chops Iāve seen in a good while š½. I bought a couple of sweet potatoes to roast with them ... thatās Mondayās supper sorted. I bought some Barnsley chops for Sunday Ā from the market yesterday (trying out a new butcher ācos mineās retired ā¹ļø ).Ā

I have some Barnsley chops in the freezer @Dovefromabove.Ā Ā Get the from a butcher in a farmers' market who cuts them nice and thick so th fat cooks but the meat stays pink.Ā Ā Yum.Ā Definitely a treat tho cos pricey.
Yesterday was a bust for Bonzo.Ā The vet's surgery called just as we were closing th egates to leave.Ā Emergency op came in so he couldn't admit Bonzo.Ā Now postponed to Sept 2nd.Ā Ā We went out for pizza instead tho I had a savoury galette.Ā Pizza is only really good in Italy IMHO.
I'm in cuttings mode - varegated buddleia today with deep, purple flowers.Ā Ā All dead-headed and full of butterflies again.Ā Ā We have bright hot sun so perfect for a bit of spraying to clear where my new shrub beds will go - if only the breeze would die down.
Grazing our way round a local producers' market this evening and hoping to get good addressesĀ for future sourcing and then the nocturnal market at La Tranche.Ā Ā Should be buzzing as it's the last night before Paris and the rest of France head home tomorrow.
