@wintersong.. well i hope you will share the next crop with us all that magic cream sounds devine.. cant wait to try that out.
@cransbill.. gorgeous plants that second yellow rose is exquiste the shape of the petals and the colour are spectacular.
@ havecranesbill ..i have some cranesbill in my garden.. love htem they come up through the shrubs and flower again if i cut them back to tidy them up.. and so easy to divide and get others from. i am atfer a yellow one..but cant find one..do you know of one and also a red one..
Don't know of any yellow ones, the only red on is a cerise coloured one
I have discovered that Monarda is not deer-proof--luckily it is in a pot, so I will move it inside the fence. Must admit, I had my doubts--but it will recover. Deer aren't desperate yet--they just pruned it a bit.
Dean Lovett, I think your bug is a Shield bug. I have seen green ones and very dark ones but not that colour, but it looks the same. They dont cause any damage, so a friend.
Gardeningfantic I do not think there is a yellow cranesbill.
Bought two lillies today, one pink one yellow. Only went to Morrisons to get milk ! They were only ??1 each and look really healthy with lots of buds. Have planted them in pots
oh right.. would love a yellow one.. but still.. i have a pale pink one.. and.. well actually the same 2 you have in your top picture cranesbill.. thou blue one is more deep blue.. mum said hers is like yours and they came form same plant when split..wonder if it is the soil that does slight change in colour.
i also have a white/blue/violet one.. it is strange.. some flowers are white with blue stripes and some are half white petals and half violet petals and some are just white.. will get a picture of it and if i can upload i will put it on..thou dont hold your breaths.. the damn computer is being stubborn and wont do it if it doesnt feel like it
@dean.. your polt is coming on lovely.. are peas and swede have done well out of all the rain as have the carrots.. but french beans not done much at all.. and the onions not much.. purple radish are ding well.. as are the runner beans.. and toms.
well a day spent in the garden.. dead heading and sowing seeds for spring..
just htought i would say i went to garden centre to day and one table is up with signs please leave... bird nesting.. and soooooooooo cute! a robin as got 4 young.. told htey hatched 2 days ago.. gorgeous.. it is right inbetween 2 trays of plants.. very clever as it is very safe and protected and warm under the canopy.. will take camera tomorrow and get picture for ya all..

@cranesbill-I am also salivating over that second yellow rose. Exquisite!

Foxglove bonanza this year!
@Inkadog, really stunning!
Thanks, Wintersong--at this time of year, it's a bit of a wilderness--but I quite like it this way!!
