Lovely pics ..... Had to laugh at first pic whilst admiring it....all of sudden spotted a dogs nose at the side of it , a nosey lab nose by looks of it , m black lab likes to stuff her nose in places too
So nice to see pics of others gardens , gives me ideas . Thanks for posting .
I must admit to having a soft spot for Sunflowers Zoomer especially the Black Magic and Teddy Bear, my Russian Giants in 2011 were about 10 ft tall thankfully not the 16ft that they can get too, I'm dreading having to prick this lot out though will take me few days I would think, I just hope that I get a good turn out of seeds as last year was a complete wash out but then the year was literally
Thanks for the comments guys. It's hard when you're just starting out with a garden to feel like you're making progress sometimes so pics always help!
Bunny....you're half right, he's a lab x collie puppy who needs to know everything that's going on hence the nose in front of the camera! Good identifying him from just a nose, I'm impressed!
I have some daffodils in bud, but no flowers yet. Snowdrops are still all out, lasted well this year. Had a couple of sunny days so made a new strawberry bed and sowed some seeds in the GH, tomatoes, penstemon, ageratum, French marigolds in electric propagaters. Weeded, manured and rotovated onion patch - was going to plant it today but the wind was too strong. A big tree blew down on our track and local farmer had to chop some away so we could get home after shopping. Professional will have to come to finish it, and it's on the phone line. March has come in like a lion lets hope it goes out like a lamb.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Same here Bunny.. & ShropshireLass, my lab is super nosey, she will even dip her nose into my coffee to see if its tea or coffee, if its coffee she just jumps up on my knee & curls up for a snooze, but if its tea, she just sits there perfectly erect like a show dog, waiting for a drink. I mostly have to show her what something is before I can get on with said something or its nose in pushing me out of the way. Im not moaning, she is adorable, I love her personality.
On a gardening note, I would have liked to have mowed the lawn this morning, but, I bought a new mower (my old one got stolen), but my new one is petrol. well I dont have a car, so I had to walk all the way into town to pick it up (taxi back, it was 30kg). I'm not so idiotic as to think that the mower would come with petrol, (thats just stupid & dangerous). So yesterday I walked into town again to buy a petrol carry can, then walked all the way back home & to the nearest petrol station (But what luck - no oil). Even went to several nearby garages, "oh no we dont do that oil", to then get home again and find out, its basically high performance motorbike oil. So now I have to walk into another town today to a halfords to get some oil.

Discodave, I really laughed when I read about your tea-tasting dog
