Last day before OH heads "up country" to work during week. He's promised to weed around the pond and get rid of the flippin mimulus which seeds everywhere.
Payback is that I have to set up his new laptop he bought yesterday. ( he's a bit of a technophobe)
Heavy rain and thuderstorms here last night, but now all is calm. Garden is drinking it all in, and looks much better for it (apart from a few flattened poppies)
So sorry to read your sad news Dove - ((hugs)) for you and OH. Hope Hosta's OH gets on well "up country", and that you both ease in to your new way of life ok. Good to start in the summer - by the time the dark evenings come you will have forgotten what it was like to live any other way.
Glad to hear all is ready Woody - looking forward to seeing it all tomorrow. I have my garden walking shoes ready for the Woodgreen marathon
Town for me and littlest chicklet today .....she needs to accessorise
Just a bit of drizzle here, not ventured out of my pit yet , needed it as I did a 9pm til 9am overnight sleeping shift during the week. But tbh I'd probably still be in bed anywa!
Got a canna tropicanas one black and one gold from B&Q, only place I could find any so they can go in today.
What are your favourite scented flowers for small tubs?
Thanks Jimmy, the pots I have would be on the small side for a lavender. I was thinking more about bedding plants ( I know NOTHING about bedding plants but I'm trying to leave the garden alone and make this my new project this year)
Nicotiana smell great in the evening, and are easy to get in GCs. Stocks are lovely too, but I have always grown them from seed - not sure if the GCs sell them as bedding plants
That's a new record Verdun! 11pm garden rearranging!?! Impressive!
Lovely pictures Dachalover! Its interesting to see what grows all over the world in different climates and conditions.my friend who is also a keen gardener is cycling around the world for charity at the moment, maybe I should ask him To fill up his paniers with cuttings and seeds!
Sorry Dove and OH to hear your sad news, take comfort in having each other and a family of hungry robins to feed, big hugs and shedloads of love!
Glad no prom princess's ended up in the cells!
As predicted, OH is far to well and healthy now to go to the doctors!..... So says he!.....Clari, may need to borrow your stern eyebrows!
Hope everyone has a relaxing day enjoys garden visits and meet-ups!

Have a good weekend one and all.

'thuderstorms' chicky - most appropriate!
I'm off too - present to get for daughter's friend's mum as a thank you. Enjoy your shopping chicky...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Lavender, in a pot, next to the door so you brush past it going in and out. Neither fancy nor adventurous, but it does work.
Thanks Jimmy
