I'm trying to get a nice photo of my garden corner that I've made in the living room, a safe spot to store hand tools, seeds and the likes from the very very wet outdoors. It's too dark now though!
I live in a tiny place with no means of storage, so this new found hobby of mine has proven problematic until I got my gardener chest and allotment box I got the little black tin to keep twine, seedling labels, and the packets of the seeds I've sown this year, which will go in a scrapbook diary thing when I get a full day to myself.
Sorry about your garden Lesley, OH had to dive outside and empty a pot of lettuce that was waterlogged!
Here is those giraffes you lots been going on about - none in my garden though
I really like them
MrsGarden here is a nice grass bed - pic from Stansted garden show last year lots of movement
I am so excited going to the Stansted garden show soon lots of plants to get
The Garden Show at Stansted Park will be open for 3 days Friday 6th – Sunday 8th June 2014 Open Daily 10am - 5pm (last entry 4pm) Stansted Park, Rowlands Castle, Hampshire PO9 6DX
Yesterday I went around garden cut all grass areas with mower, then did 5 buckets of shredding with shredder, later as I got two grow bags delivered from milk and more by the milkman - I planted up the dahlias so all outside now, fed the plants in baskets and sweet peas and fed the birds - got so knackered by time I had read the all the posts
Been cleaning out wormery today some nice compost in bottom layer which was good as not looked at it for ages - top layer mucky so gone in bin with the big slug buggers, think I will buy all the kit and start it from fresh this year
OH is in the kitchen and there are lovely smells wafting out - I have a Campari & soda at my elbow
((hugs)) to those who've had tough days and those who are just tee'd off 'cos they couldn't get into the garden.
I had a lovely day with daughter - it wasn't even raining in Suffolk - it stopped as I reached the border and started again at the same spot on the way home We visited The Range and I picked up some hedgehog food and a new very healthy looking rosemary so we'll have plenty for porchetta and rosemary potatoes
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The best smell in the garden is honeysuckle mixed with hesperis mixed with philadelphus, on a still , humid night. Thats what we got last night, but tonight all I've got is slugs heading for my courgettes. The slug pubs are diluted. I may need to rig up cocktail umbrellas over them.
Mmm fidget, all those.. Especially philadelphus, mine isn't flowering yet, got some stocks and carnations just flowering, been out in rain just to smell them, and my climbing iceberg by the front door , nearly everything I plant / want has lovely fragrance, I worked for a very well known perfume/ fashion company for years and trained as an aromatherapist, fragrance very important to me, my sense of smell is pretty good, sometimes too good ( full nappies!!! )

Stunning hellebore fidget. I'm all excited now. Have PM'd you.
Shame about your dad's trials. Hope he is on the road to recovery now. Parents can be such a worry.
Rain still on here and the bottom of the garden has flooded

the little 'the honest gardener' makes me chuckle, I'm yet to meet a dishonest one!
Evening all
OH has gone out for the evening (hurrah) so I can choose what to watch on the telly
Hope your headache has gone now Lily and today wasn't too bad. Hope having me with you helped
Fidget, I'd love some seeds but fear that my new found growing skills might fail and that would be a waste
