Evening all, Pleased to say I'm on the mend after sleeping for a good 12 hours! Really surprised at that but obviously needed the rest.
It's been overcast but warmish so when I eventually got up at 10.30 am I handwashed the last curtain and hung it out to drip dry. Very pleased to have got those all washed now. Will need to replace the bottom couple of feet of the lining which had got some mould on it but that's no problem, a job for a rainy day perhaps. I must also check whether or not I need to shorten them, could just 'puddle' them on the floor I suppose although I'm not a great fan of that look.
I also found time - and energy! to put some bark mulch around the rose I planted yesterday. I'm planning to deeply mulch some of the beds to try and cut down on the constant weeding.
OH was pleased to catch up with family news at the funeral yesterday, quite a lot of his other nephews and nieces were also there. He got back about 6.30pm to find the house in darkness and me fast asleep in my recliner in the sitting room. Oops, dinner was a bit late last night.
I think my evergreen agapanthus have just about survived in their pots on the terrace, they were too big to move so had to take their chances. If they look as good as @Pat E's I shall be very pleased.
I’ve been thinking about my Agapanthus while I was eating breakfast. They were all from seeds that I germinated, hence the white one (seedling variation at work.)😁
When I was gardening for a living (like Wonky) there was one lady customer who asked me to collect some of the seeds from her plants for a friend. She was happy for me to keep some for myself. That was so long ago that I can’t remember the year. …. Before 1997 when we moved from Canberra to Melbourne. Just goes to show that I should have been keeping a diary.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Lovely pics @Pat E … looks like a sunny day … has the temperature warmed up a bit? The full moon is fading and we’ve a rosy-pink dawn … it’s 5C and it looks as if we’re in for a fine day … that’ll be great as were driving down to son’s place for our Sunday meal. 😊

I love it when England get beat, especially by Scotland.

I left all my evergreen Agapanthus out and I can see hints of shoots on them all . Fingers crossed.
