Please do, I often buy plants but am hesitant to list them for fear of boring people. My stumperie has 12 different ferns,half a dozen different dogs tooth violets and pulmonerias , never listed them all on line, must be a bit of a plantaholic
OK I'll tell you - as well as a small bottle of Essence of Barley Straw to deal with the greening of the pond, I bought two large ready planted baskets of marginal plants for the pond, and some more Water Violet and two Water Soldiers. The ready planted baskets worked out much cheaper than their constituent parts so were a good deal.
They're the two baskets at the far side of the pond.
Then.............. for the front garden I bought a Bergenia 'Overture', Verbascum 'Sierra Sunset' - gorgeous peachy apricot with rusty burgundy centres, and a clump of Camassia leichtlinii Caerulea - everything planted and watered
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've also watered the Weed & Feed into the front lawn, and watered all the recently planted perennials and shrubs with the hose, and made sure that the honeysuckles have all had a good soaking, as one of them is already showing signs of powdery mildew.
Shall I show you a picture of part of the front lawn, so you'll see why I've used Weed & Feed on it?
The bumble bees love it ............. but the seeds blow onto our elderly neighbour's lawn - he already has a degree of dementia - don't want to make matters worse
Think I need a shower and then we'll go and get a takeaway .............

It's been a while since I last posted but I've popped in now and then to keep up with things. Hope you are all well, what a splendid day we've had in the South East! I spent so long in the garden today that I was walking to the dinner table with a crooked back.
This is my favourite time of the year and this year is exceptional weather compared to last.
Hi wintersong. Lots done today. OH found paint so arch no.1 now matches the decking, an awful dark brown but as its attached to the deck it needed go be done. After deciding I would start clematis off in a tub, ended up just needing to get it in an 18" deep hole next to new arch! Rained while painting and planting but no harm done, just a bit rusty! Long soak then as I told OH I couldn't possibly cook as well, he came up with an original idea - off to the pub, yeh hey!!! Will work on him to get going with arches 2&3 tomorrow! Bliss.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted but I've popped in now and then to keep up with things. Hope you are all well, what a splendid day we've had in the South East! I spent so long in the garden today that I was walking to the dinner table with a crooked back.

Hi Wintersong
In the sticks near Peterborough
Lovely pond Dove and lovely grass, I actually like dandelions
OH doesn't!!
Hello Wintersong, I don't think we've met before
I'm just wondering whether to go and sow some seeds in planters or not and just take it easy
