    Dove wondered: 

    "Now we're all going to be thinking back and wondering which one you were .......... in fact, I did notice someone looking at us a bit oddly .............. image image"

    I was the bearded guy in the grey peaked hat and blue waterproof jacket - probably walking around with an uncertain look on his face! image

    Re purchases, I didn't see much I wanted to buy but then these three mauve/purple ones called Penstemon Pensham 'Czar' caught my eye @ £3.95 each.

    I then went back and found this Dahlia 'Sarah' @ £3.50.

     I thought for less than £16 in all that lot seemed to be good value.

    For the moment I've given them temporary residence with my begonias until I find a suitable spot to bed them out.

     

  • You should've stood in the middle there and shouted Nut!  Dove! Panda! Snoodle!  and then rounded it all off with Topbird!   We'd have all come running!!! image 

    We had plenty of picnic to spare ....

     

    Those are lovely penstemons image

    Thanks again, Dove.

    Being rather shy and retiring image I would have found that a bit too demonstrative i think. I'm also not sure it wasn't too late in the year, what with the soggy ground and all, to be rushed from all sides by five enthusiastic gardening ladies - not of course that the thought is totally without its attractions!

  • We're all very shy and retiring Birdy - but we come out of our shells occasionally to mix with gardeners and cooks image
