    Just back from the GC image Bought a whole heap of plants I didn't mean to get and two that I did! Oh, and a tin tray and some notelets image As you do! Got £10 off so that made it feel a bit better image 

    Has been a glorious day here. All went well apart from the destruction of my lovely delicate alliums (see below). Some of my air bricks needed replacing on the house and the cavity wall man couldn't replace the bricks without trampling the flowers image Just glad I took pics a couple of days ago.

    Panda hugs for trampled plants imageimage

    Lily enjoy your salad image Pasta image

    Just had salad. My rocket, salad leaves, water cress and cumbers from neighbour, radishes, spring onions and no taste toms from SM. Plus some salmon with ginger on and my chives image Wedges made from my spuds image So if you consider the cost of growing a few bits as money spent on a hobby, nearly a meal for nothing image

    Hi all sneaked out to move my Mathiola seedlings into their own pots earlier! Some seeds I seem to be succeeding with, fingers crossed they make it

    Panda I think you have an Astilbe with the pinkish flowers, if so it loves moisture and shade I very well might be wrong. Nice Heuchera name ? I know the one top 2nd to right but brain dead, what is the one top row far right? I like that.

    Edit, not sure about Astilbe and the one in pink pot is a Hebe ? No doubt I'm totally wrong but can't blame a gal for trying image

    I do indeed have an Astilbe KEF image 

    Plants in order:

    Top row: Astilbe: Hebe 'Rhubarb and Custard': Heucherella 'Tapestry'

    Middle row: Ipomoea (didn't realise was an annual): Heuchera 'Ginger Ale'

    Next row: Nasturtiums  

    Bottom row: two Patio mix variety packs - Traditional mix and Sunshine Yellow for my pots image
