I am at home with the little ones so i spend as much time in the garden as i can. It keeps me sane! I'll have to show you what it was like when we moved 4.5y ago... There is still a lot to do (trying to hide that on the photographs?)
Lovely healthy sweetpea, FG. I also like alchemilla, it seems to "go" with a lot of plants and styles.
gorgeous pictures GD, especially the anemone de Caen with the raindrops.
Arvagh, just outside Cavan. Usually lucky with the weather, apart from a couple of times when we got snowed in. We're up the hill so waders not usually necessary!
Wellies are for tourists FG. Every night they'd be upside down on sticks and in the morning there they'd be....damp and full of earrywigs!!! My feet? Dry and warm and toasty. My flip flops, dry and ready to go! Simpoles!
I just use multi purpose Joyce. I do deadhead frequently, and they've had a liquid feed of tomato food, as they're not getting too much from the compost as it's not been renewed this year. I had a little one in the ground round the corner- on the path beside our deck steps. It was very happy. Poor soil and good drainage and neglect
I intend doing the same with those ones - they'll go at the edge of the new south facing bed, to cover the lump of concrete I can't get out!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

One of my besties is from Ballinagh in County Cavan. It's about 15mins from Arvagh. We work together in Belfast. :-)
Looks pretty good to me too BL

The problem with wellies is that, if you wear them long enough, they're just as wet on the inside....

Thought I should get the thread back on track in case we get a row....
...and yes, I need more gravel for the areas that have been cleared...more hard labour!

Fairy, what compost do you use for your pinks? I've never had much success with them and I love the perfume.
