Colder than it has been but not too cold to garden here in the southwest of England and still some lovely sunshine and better this afternoon as there is less wind, so about to head out again, having just got back from getting last of my veg seeds I wanted from my local gardening shop as i like to support them as well as the online and mail order companies and garden centers.
Looks fantastic Lizzie, you have been hard at work! So cold and windy here today, but I managed to remove quite a few bluebells (they've become weeds - in the way of where I need to plant things).
Good photos Busy. Well done. No gardening here today as the weather has been filthy - cold, wet and windy - and I have been a tad tired after taking 6 teenage Hip Hop girls to Brussels to buy outfits for their end of season demo. It took them 4 hours to get everything.
I have contented myself with shuffling a few house plants about and sanding down and cleaning 3 galvanised pots I bought in a flea market. Once dried they'll be painted and decorated and varnished ready for life in the garden. Also sanded down the bird boxes I rescued from the drunken fence posts. They'll be cleaned and lightly oiled and put out again in a new location of next year's nesters.
Hoping for sun tomorrow as I have loads to do outside and babies to pot up and pumpkins to sow.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I dutifully bought the pond plants Monty recommended last night in the hope they will attract wildlife to my newly created wildlife pond. If there are any Cambridgshire frogs reading come to Hinxton theres a fantastic pond waiting for you!
Be careful what you wish for. Our pond and others in the paddocks across the road have been invaded by singing frogs that chorus very loudly for months. They started last night and will go on into July and August which makes for a lot of noise once it's warm enough for the windows to be open at night.

Busy Lizzie , lots of hard work but it looks great
You've inspired me to take some "before & after" photos, Busy Lizzie. That looks really fab!

Thank you everyone. No time for gardening today, an AGM then visit to son, tomorrow out to OH's choir's lunch party.
My son and DIL had a pond next to their previous house. They had to change to the spare bedroom until July because of the noise the frogs made!
