    Saw loads of rainbows in windows on my walk to the shop. Had to Google to see what they were about. What a lovely idea.
    I believe they're also doing it with teddies, or other soft toys. Nice idea for the kids - counting them or just enjoying them on the way past  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Anyway - RTBC?  Garden centres and plant shops can sell us plants and seeds as of today.  Great news.  I assume they'll have distancing rules and shorter opening hours, like the SMs.
    Only vegetables, apparently.

    I have a second under gardener, a very cheeky robin, who gets very close and doesn’t even mind first under gardener and chief weed tosser, Sandra the dog, being near.

    My RTBC today is, having tried the other town (same distance a my usual one, but opposite direction) for the weekly shop this morning, discovered the agricultural hardware/pet supplies shop was open. It was selling everything and anything you wanted, including compost, manure, seeds and plants!! Got 10 bags of manure, 2 bags of MPC and a dozen tomato plants as back-up for my etiolated tom seedlings. Hurrah! I wasn’t tempted by the sad looking pansies, though.

    I will be dropping in next week as ferretería counter is also open so I can buy the fixings needed for my suspended fencing project. No idea how they are getting away with it, as other GC’s that also sell pet food are allowed to sell the latter but not their plants, plus all other ferreterías are closed.

    She could toss for the olympics @B3. Steadies herself into position, bottom wriggle, controlled dive into the bucket of weeds, tosses them a great height and finishes with a twirl and a furious tail wag.

    The only flower that I consider edible is cauliflower. I don't get this current fashion of eating anything. ;)
