This morning started out so warm and sunny again didnt it?, I pegged out the washing, planted out my beans against their wigwam, swept the patio, took Stan out (my dog, see photo) for a walk in the woods, then took my daughter and boyfriend to Leeds to catch their train to London,had some lunch, drove home, brought the washing in, then got changed to cut the lawn and it started to rain,Noooo!! Goddamn british weather!! Maybe I'll get it done after tea!!
Fairygirl I am referring to the hammock, prob would try get in it if I had room for one which I don't but - it would chuck me out and the only area which has trees would be where the pond is - which needs re doing liner some when think I would keep to a seat and table
I have been doing a small bit of watering as in my seed trays putting them in another tray to soak up the water
I sowed my runner and french beans direct as seeds yesterday with wigwams in place all within 1m square normally grow them as plant in root trainer but thought I would see about direct sowing them instead
Victoriajane - make sure you take photos if you can it helps to look from a different view of your plants that is what I did when planting in the front garden
Lovely to hear my indecisiveness is the norm for us gardening folks!
Lovely fable Birdy13 and one I shall remember!
Although, I had a moment today...only a moment...but it was worth it.
I had rushed out this morning ready to rip another wrongly placed plant out of its hole from yesterday when suddenly a thought struck me and my problem aspect was solved and why didn't I think of that before? It was the most obvious choice ofc...and then I seemed to get carried away and wow, all of a sudden I had three plants in the ground with complete satisfaction!
So, I'll be content with painting small murals that get ruined by the rain whilst the structure and bigger plants get on with thie jobs of providing height and winter interest and everyone will be happy
As for some white campion seeds from Gardengirl...thank you so much! How very kind of you. I am delighted at the prospect and shall leave my address in your pms.
Nutcutlet, I am happy to report the rigorous hammock test is ready for publication.
RESULT. Passed
The hammock I started the test in is like a string bag and hugs you tightly (in fact diamond shaped lumps of me extruded between the holes like a salami before a blanket was put in first). When the Liquidamber shaded me I moved to the "mobile" hammock; a hammock on a frame - with a handy book and sun lotion pocket on the foot end. My looney lurcher tried, unsuccessfully,to share this with me and he is a comfort connoisseur!
The framed ones came from John Lewis about ten years ago and live most of their time rolled around the frame poles in the garage. BUT THE SUN CAME OUT!
I took advantage of the fine weather over the last three days, weeded the flowerbeds, moved the erica and fern, mowed, aerated and fertilised the lawn and potted sun flowers for ouside together with LO, which LO has managed to germinate and grow indoors

Spent morning in garden planting out sweet pea seedlings. Have kept some in green house just in case.
Spent afternoon at Bridgemere Garden World buying plants to go in by front wall. Now need good weather to plant them after numerous placings
I to have moved plants around the garden in there pots untill going to plant them, wondering where to put my black grass plant can't make up my mind

All back in the garage today.
A good days work done Marinelilium.
Back in the garage for several days I think. Like the rest of the garden furniture
In the sticks near Peterborough

Tonight I will be mostly.....on a slug safari. Torch, brine bucket and prowling about in wet foliage.
