Busy-Lizzie, thanks for the picture. I hope mine grows as well as yours. How long have you had yours it looks very healthy. The Salvias I already have in another part of my garden haven't started to grow again yet. Hoping that's down to the rotten weather we are having. Typical Scottish weather!!
Weeding and mulching the hedgerow with bark chips. Underplanted with Foxgloves and ordered some Coreopsis "moonbeam" to go with them. Planted some of the overwintered Sweet Peas into a giant pot and helped the 3 year old prick out and pot on the Echinacea and whatever else was in the seed trays
Also ordered an actual wooden cold frame, so no more escapees to Australia!
Was going to do my next batch of seed sowing,pricking out and potting on but decided to go outside until rain (forecast for the afternoon) arrived. Ended up staying out until 5 o'clock!
Tidied some herb pots, spread worm compost over area where I plan to put courgettes, sowed some peas in a large container. Then did some more border tidying including digging out some Golden Hop. (I will suffer tomorrow). Finished by tidying some of the pots, plant supports and other paraphernalia "stacked" behind the kitchen.
Basted digging...yes, I mean that double digging in half a border, can't plant until it's weed free and improved, foot down is shocking but the worms are huuuuuuuuuge

Potted up some rescues from a border, plus bits that fell off equals 15 total. Sunny spells but rain later so it was slug patrol

OH weeded the gravel path he's been promising to do for a year. Bless'im.
OH was away at a hen weekend and came home to the following:-
I don't think I'm very popular. Sooner the cold frame arrives the better!
