     Just planted out 40 leeks but kept having breaks to sit down and admire nature in all her glory! image 

     

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

     Clematis Abundance, it really lives up to it's name.

  • I grew some Nigella damascena (mixed colours) last year, then let them self seed. Absolutely love them this year, a much better show!!

    We've got a lovely display of Sweetpeas too. Last year, the House Sparrows and little Jenny Wren loved eating the greenflies off the plant!

    KEF- longiflorum is my favourite lily image

    NEW TEXT..messed up the quote thing

    Fairy is that what my white one is? Or just your favorite lily? I've had that one years and only knew it as "white lily" ..

    I could kick myself for throwing plant labels away, I had a bag full but before joining forum I thought no use in saving as a lot were from previous garden. Just reminded me of what I'd left behind & others that had died. Silly womanimage
