Lovely pics wintersong - love the colour of that tulip.
Lead Farmer - I am about to switch from white to black labels, so they don't show up as much on the garden. Found some on the internet, and my label printer also does black tape with white writing. Mine will just be the lollipop stick sort though - yours looks very grand !!
What super labels, I've been looking for black ones for ages and even asked about them in one of these threads. They are so much more discreet and all the garden open to the public use them. I live in France and most of the labels here are yellow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
all the gardens look lovely, mine is terrible at the moment. I am new to gardening so have an excuse! spend the morning worrying about baby seedlings and brought them all in from outside. Just hope they aren't a lost cause now!
Weather playing havoc with everyone's seedlings and plants so you are not alone
BL - there must be places online that have them- they are very smart. I ususally make a planting plan so that I know what's where. Trouble is I move stuff and don't update. Note to self: must try harder...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Dashed to the greenhouse avoiding the deluge of rain by using an umbrella ,saw that the seedlings were growing and needed watering .I then ran back indoors and put the kettle on and thought good job I cut the grass yesterday.oops must run to the green house forgot to shut window ,howling gale is now in force.Where did summer go ?
Today I went back to the GC to pick up two grow bags I bought yesterday but forgot to take with me . Luckily they believed me! Potted on my red cabbages (raised bed not built yet) and carried on painting my arbour. Decided to do it in two shades, willow green and cream. Seemed like a good idea - taking an age! Also planted more salad.
I rushed around the garden checked bird feeders swapped some over and filled up and checked my seeds in greenhouse a slug was in there trying to eat my seeds chucked it in the garden away from my seedlings, weather is getting windy out as well as wet my water butts are filling up nicely as well.
I need to paint my raised bed again as not been painted for a while but with all this wet won't be doing that yet needs to be dry

Yesterday I potted on a lot of babies. Today I brought them all into the cold GH so they don't get washed out of the pots in the expected heavy rain
In the sticks near Peterborough
I planted out the runner beans and sowed more peas this morning.
