Loving your pictures again Marion. You have so much colour in your garden. I seem to have so little. Some nice white narcissi in pots by the front window but they've been battered by the wind a bit now.
Aaaah we already have a busy Lizzie, Darren. I am a very busy person usually but do take time out when any friends or family arrive and just to sit and enjoy the flora and fauna around me. This morning there is a duckpond once more on the kitchen patio as we have had heavy rain in Bristol abd it is still pouring and very dark so lots more to come. That wil fill up the waterbutts again.and keep me indoors. I found three secondhand books , two written by herself, of Margery Fish on the internet yesterday so bought them and expect them soon. She has been a heroine of mine since my honeymoon 62 years ago spent at East Lambrook when I saw her snowdrops flowering in the snow in late February. I will not mind the rain this week when my books arrive!
I did manage to dodge the showers enough yesterday ti plant three perennials up in the butterfly garden, another three plants of Jacob's ladder, and do a little weeding as the weeds come out so easily now the soil is wet. I reckon if I do three every day for twenty days i should have tidied the patios by then. That is if i do not replace them at the same rate . Nine more are coming from Secret Gardening Club this week! This morning the garden looks very damp but the weather is dry now though cloudy. Forecast is for warm day and no rain till late in the afternoon so should be outdoors most of the day.
