You cracked it flumpy 1. Well done! Lots of colourful flowers. Two days running I have had strawberries from the garden with ice-cream. It was really humid today but fresher tomorrow. I planted out my little Picea glauca which one of my sons brought me at Xmas smothered in artificial snow. i never thought it would survive but it has and has new growth on it. I had to go shopping past the flower shop and there on the plant table outside were pink platycodons so I just had to buy one. I told the florist I had the blue and she said she was getting the white ones in a few weeks so I shall have to look out for them.
Lovely sunny morning and fresher as the weatherman promised. I have a rose "The generous gardener" to plant in my new border which will give me another big pot for sweet peas and a wigwam. The weather for the rest of the week looks like it will be superb which is good as a FB friend is coming on Thursday to "do" the Botanic Garden with me and visit my garden. I am so looking forward to that having seen so many pictures of her lovely garden on facebook.
My daughter has a climbing "Generous Gardener", she's very pleased with it.
The forecast storm must have bypassed us, hardly rained at all, although it's cooler this morning. I wanted the garden watered, now I'll have to do it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I went up to collect the ripe strawberries which I have to do twice a day now and it was so lovely going through the quaking grass in the bright sunshine i just had to get my camera out.
Hi Marion, glad the weather was nice for you, I can't believe we've just had heavy rain and hale stone!, I thought someone was banging on my windows, it was sunny a minute ago , your Photos look lovely, my favourite one is plant in the white planter with the lilac flower
That is a pink platycodon, flumpy1. I have a blue one I bought at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens last year and the flower shop lady is getting the white one in soon.
Strawberries every day now for dessert! Another lovely day i bristol and no rain firecast for the next four days. Need the green wheeliebn emptied but will have to wait till friday and in the meantime just fill up the weed containers and line them up. I have difficulty in recalling such a lush June . The wet winter and absence of frost have meant everything has suvived and flourished, Makes for beautiful sights in te garden like a huge bank of elderflowers intertwined with mock orange blossom. Fisrt job fter bringing in the strawberries is o finish potting up my gazanias as the new compost was delivered yesterday afternoon. I will make a cake for tomorrow's visitor after the sun goes down.

Lovely photos frumpy, a great homecoming!
It's been a bit frustrating dodging the thunder showers today. Sunshine now and tablet due for recharge.
The tomato plants sound intriguing Marion. Look forward to seeing their progress.
Thank you fizzi B , I turned my tablet horizontal this time, hope the weather is better tomorrow for you

It's lovely, I see you've been busy picking fruit today, I saw your pictures on the other sight
