And todays star is Molineux, a David Austin rose, just outside my kitchen door and the best its been all year at the moment. I was hoping it would show the other star which was raindrops as we have not had a lot of rain but don't think it shows. Just clicked on picture to enlarge and there are the raindrops YAY
I always a have a notebook, jot down things from the forums, from GW, from catalogues and the advice I am given specially regards plants from anyone. Never without one, one in handbag and one by computer. They have my to do lists as well as does my lap top desktop as it has sticky notes on screen
Also keep a record (computer) of what is planted and where and any special care needed.
i keep notebooks about the garden - I hate it when I can't remember the name of a plant. Slightly OCD, but I'm like that about most things. Have lists all over the place too - then all I have left to remember is where I put the list.
and these trailing geraniums are doing very well still... i take cutting from them each year to make sure i dont lose them.. they mix togther so well..
i took some of bees today as one bubble bee as gigantic.. it was about 2 ins long.. but the pictures are not too good sorry as very windy and all kept moving about

Haisie and Tracy both of you have really wonderful pics. They look like ones that are published in books
