What a terrible drive through all that heavy rain yesterday-
Itching to get out in garden but have taken last 5 hours applying for a job, so fingers crossed please. Now just this week to plan for.
Think actually that I need to go put some violas into the baskets- I did it in autumn but those very stnong winds killed them all. That way I'll be refreshed and so much more able to get on productively.
I like the gadget Blackest, what' sit called, brand etc?
Right, I'll just have to wait and see what my version of 'sweet pea' turns into! And I was so looking forward to them, never mind they must be somewhere! Worryingly though I think I've also nurtured a pot of weeds through winter in the belief that I had done so well looking after echinacea cuttings.
Grass cut on lowest setting, hydrangea p. has got some green tufts - so have cut back so growth can concentrate on them! Watering done in the sunshine. Can't find the paint/stain for the arch though. Dead tree has some growth again so still needs chopping to make safe, going with OH suggestion to let it grow again and plant some buddleia (can never spell that) in case it doesn't grow and then have some height, cuttings taken. can also put a clematis to grow up it and into comifers.
it was an aldi special but there are other similar tools. the grass edging tool is particularly good between the plants, of course the battery is flat now so have to recharge it.
Afternoon all Lovely day here Need to plant out my sweet peas - mine are real ones MrsG Mine are going in a lovely deep pot with some willow sticks to clamber up
Well, that's been a good day - I did some planting and weeding and watering - I went to the GC to buy a Stipa gigantea, but they didn't have one - how did I manage to come away with a boot full of plants and £70 lighter in my purse
Thank goodness some of those £££ were vouchers Phew!!!
Shall I tell you what I got .................................................
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lots of lovely rain here to wash in my weed and feed yesterday. Sorry for those who wanted it dry, but it was nice in the evening. Went to a concert, ( at the local cinema) to watch Sol Gabetta play the Elgar Cello Concerto, better than I have ever seen it before. Sheer bliss, and I cried too.
Planted up loads of pansies in very old and somewhat broken clay pots. They look great together. And discovered Sennetti, very beautiful again, 3 plants to a pot, either side of the front door.

You leave them unattended for two minutes...
